Since the cons escaped, the problem with Prison Break is that it now relies for its drama on plot twists just the wrong side of extraordinary.

By far the best reason for watching this is T-Bag, the deliciously sick paedophile end serial killer, who, loaded with stolen loot, attempts to settle down and make a family, with only his charm, a shotgun and a bread knife to assist him.

Skin crawling barely begins to cover it.

EXTRAS: None.
