Amazon.co.uk Review
It was always going to be a challenge to move a show whose premise effectively fitted comfortably inside a single series to a third season. And so perhaps inevitably, Prison Break moves the action back to the slammer, this time in Panama. It proves to be a wise choice, as, while plausibility has long since been thrown out of the window, it's a more natural setting for the show.

Prison Break still follows brothers Lincoln and Michael Burrows, but this time there's a far tougher prison that needs to be broken out of. It's a little less claustrophobic than the last one, but more dangerous. And along with the usual terrific supporting cast of characters, the tension, twists and violence that underpin the show are all very much present and correct.

Powering Prison Break forwards, of course, is the pin-up star Wentworth Miller, who owns his role as Michael, and grounds many of the show's extremities. And while it's a shorter season than the first two, this third run still manages to cram in some strong entertainment.

Perhaps season three isn't Prison Break's finest hour, and perhaps the concept has diluted somewhat since the show first began. But this is still really good, assured entertainment, that knows what it wants to do and simply gets on with it. For that alone, it remains a show hard to resist. --Jon Foster

Firstly, I love the format of Prison break - the way you never know where its going to go and what can happen next. Thats the beauty of the whole show. The fact that the story takes you to a Panama Prison is awesome. The fact that this seaon is shorter is a bit of a pain, but they still managed to give a full rounded feel to the season, without feeling like anything had been missed. It makes me laugh that some mark it dowmn for that, as everybody in the world new about the wirters strike, and there was NOTHING the creators could do about that. They made the best of it and it worked. Some say its too much like the first season. Well if you watch a show called 'Prison Break' its pretty bloody obvious that it will revolve around a prison and an escape. If thats not what you want to watch, my watch a show of that name!?!?!?! What did you expect? I think it was good, with a winning format and they did well considering the strike. Im looking forward to the next season..........

The starting point of the original series was that a structural engineer was going to break his death row brother out of prison by getting sent to prison himself and then using his tatoos, and his work helping the prison governor construct a matchstick model of the Taj Mahal, to tunnel out of a maximum security prison and get to Panama. Naturally, the brother was the victim of a vast conspiracy on the part of the shadowy forces controlling America, a conspiracy which boiled down to giving the vice president's brother a nice house and a set of false teeth.

So far, so not exactly cinema verite.

Some viewers have obviously felt that season 3 was stretching the plausibility of the story. This doesn't do justice to the wild implausibility of what has come before. The plot of Prison Break is total gibbering nonsense from start to finish. Season 3 is as silly as seasons 1 and 2. It's absolutely brilliant.

If you want a serious, thoughtful attempt to capture the complex, ambiguous relationship between criminal and governmental structures, watch the Wire; personally, I watch Prison Break because it's nonsense on stilts, but nonsense with a completely addictive narrative drive, played out by a fantastic set of character actors.

If you took seasons 1 and 2 for what they were - the best fun on TV - then season 3 won't disappoint you.

I thought this season was great. After the initial shock of one of the main characters being killed off it settles down to a nail-biting story. Prison Break works best when the characters are in prison. The new characters are very good especially Whistler- lets hope he stays around for Season 4. Michael shows his darker side in this season and you can really see his character developing. I was glued to every minute of it and my only complaint is that due to the writers strike it was too short. Bring on Season 4 I cant wait!

I have been so looking forward to season 3 of prison break, I don't watch them on TV because I need to watch them all together with lots of beers I just can never wait for the next one. So when what seemed like out of the blue Prison Break Season 3 was being released. I quicky looked it up on Amazon and saw to my horror 4 discs! 4 discs! 13 episodes!!! what the hell is going on. The damn WMA strike has cut Prison Break in half.!

Even with this and the bad reviews I read about it (people saysing its all over place and is just the same as the first season) I bought it.
I am so glad I did this did not disppoint one bit it was typical fantastic Prison break stuff, it was shame there was only 13 episodes but to be honest if it was the usual 22 it may have been to stretched out and ended up a bit boring. The show is fast paced very exciting, the neigh sayers who who said the story was all over place are talking rubbish. From the story alone you would have never known it was 10 episodes short. As for the comments it was the same as the first again rubbish, yes Micheal is in another prison and is trying to escape, but thats where the similarities end. Micheal has no plan anymore, there are no prison rules or guards to protect him and his cool tattoo will be no help!!

In fact I had to laugh even tho sone prison is in the scorching Panama Sun Micheal never takes is lond sleeve shirt off! I guess wardrobe couldn't be bothered to draw the tattoo on him if he didn't need it.

All the great character are still there T-Bag still evil and great, William Fitcher plays a great part as former FBI agent Alex and Bellic! I even began to feel sorry for him.

Ok its not quite as good as season 1 & 2 but come on they where amazing and a very hard act to follow.

Bens Review May 20, 2008
I have read reviews by people saying that season 2 and 3 are rubbish, I can not understand this, they are all amazing and season 3 it as great. There is a whole new look on things, it is not a complete copy of season 1 as some people have stated, there are new problems to be faced and more intimidating characters.

Ok there are a few things that could have been done a lot better, I am not going to spoil it by revealing these but I think when you watch it you will see what I mean.

Overall season 3 is definitely worth buying, it follows on nicely from season 2 and I would recommend it.
