Summary: Following the events at the end of second series of PRISON BREAK, Lincoln Borrows is exonerated of his alleged crimes while his brother Michael is sent to a hellacious, convict-run prison in Panama.

Following the events at the end of second series of PRISON BREAK, Lincoln Borrows (Dominic Purcell, JOHN DOE) is exonerated of his alleged crimes while his brother Michael (Wentworth Miller, THE HUMAN STAIN) has been framed by shadowy organisation 'The Company' and is sent to the hellacious Sona prison, a convict-run establishment in Panama. The guards who used to be there left as a result of the violence of the inmates. Michael finds out that The Company sent him to Sona in order to pull off another prison break by freeing Whistler (Chris Vance, ALL SAINTS), an inmate who hides in the sewer system of Sona. The thrilling third series of PRISON BREAK sees the show return to the confines of a prison, but a prison much more dangerous than Fox River Penitentiary.

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
