I mentioned this in the "What Sort of T.V. Shows Do You Watch?" thread:

 

I've never really done that "binge-watching" thing. I usually watch something regularly but over short bursts but I'm binge watching Prison break at the minute. I caught bits and pieces of the first couple of seasons when they aired but just sort of forgot about it. I'm watching it now though. I don't know why I'm so hooked - it's pretty trashy, particularly season 2 onwards but jeez. I've now seen the first 3 seasons - 57 episodes in 7 days.

 

I can honestly say that Sarah Wayne Callies is the reason why I'm getting two hours sleep a night and that statement sounds like it should give me a bigger spring in my step than it does.

 

I've finished it now and like I say found it oddly compelling. With it being on Netflix I noticed quite a lot of people are working their way through it right now.

 

Have you seen it? What do you think?

I watched it when it was first on and I loved it. Funnily enough I'm not watching it again, as my girlfriend has never seen any of it, so we are working our way through from the start. I'm only a few episodes into season 1 but I am loving it all over again.
The first season is great. Sarah Wayne Callies is absolutely lovely in it too.

Spot on!!

 

It gets a bit "out there" as it goes on but I must say I did enjoy it, but Season 1 was by far the best season.

First season was the best

T-Bag is such a great character. I moved onto Breakout Kings after I finished Prison Break. It's created and written by some of the people behind Prison Break. I wanted to see the episode revolving around T-Bag at least and it's great. I could watch hours of a T-Bag monologue with the camera a couple of inches away from his face.

Robert Knepper is brilliant.

I loved seasons 1 & 2. Wasn't so keen on 3 & 4

 

And yeah T-Bag was awesome

The episode of Breakout Kings with T-Bag was a great piece of TV. My only problem was I didn't like a single one of the protagonists.
Didn't know T-bag was in Breakout Kings, I'll definitely be checking that out. Love the character.

Yes, it's in the first season, episode 3. I liked it a lot. Knepper's brilliant again.

Breakout Kings.
I'm about eight episodes in and they're growing on me but I can understand what you mean.
robert knepper is great my pick for the next joker.
He'd be great at that, the guy can exuded creepy malevolance when he wants too. He'd also be a great Riddler.
He was a good Clock King on Arrow.
