Fall TV Season is here, there goes my life....
Ok, so I get how it is still August, but the Fall TV Season in the US has already started, you know how those silly Americans don't know their earthly seasons (the clothes stores are already just selling WINTER clothes!!!!). Anyways, the major television networks have these things they call "seasons" for their prime time tv shows, and they usually start in the Fall, which is at the END of September, but now they're twitching it a bit. FOX decided to start early because they broadcast Major League Baseball in October, and that means that we get season or series premieres in August, more specifically yesterday, August 29th, and boy was that a good way to start the season.
FOX aired the Series Premiere of their new suspense thriller "Prison Break" with 2 back-to-back episodes to get you and ME hooked from the beginning, and, at least on my part, they delivered. This show is about this guy who decides to rob a bank, arm in hand, so he can get caught and go to prison, with the sole purpose of breaking his brother out, who is already there serving a death-row sentence for killing the U.S. Vice President's brother, and is scheduled to die about 5 weeks later, on the fictional May 21st. But this guy's intelligent, he so happens to have been working in the firm where the prison was designed, so he had access to the blueprints of the whole place, and so, he had them disguised in a full body tattoo.
Since his brother's crime is government related, you can expect a whole lot to happen to involve government conspiracies, especially now that the brother's ex-girlfriend (who is a lawyer) is gathering information that could potentially prove that he is innocent and about to be killed for a crime he was framed for. All the while, the new inmate is already gathering information in the inside about some of the inmates that could help him with his escape, befriending ones, giving outside info to others, and going way too much to the infirmary to get shots of insuline which he doesn't need. And now, after only 2 episodes, i'm hooked, there are various different plot lines that you know are going to intertwine at one point or another of the story, and the teases, like the one left in the 2nd episode's last scene, just leave you thirsty for more.
For starters, it's a good drama in the 24, LOST, Alias, sense, with thrilling moments, prison riots, conspiracies, and a full-on mental game that makes for good TV.
My Grade: A-
