Prison Break

Prison break is show that had ended in its fourth season this fall.  Although the show is 'over', I just started watching it.  I prefer to watch series after they are over, so I don't need to wait with crazy anticipation on what happens next week!
Spoiler alert! If anyone has not seen this show (which I reccomend seeing) don't read on!
Prison Break is a show that takes place in and out of a state prison.  The main character, Michael is desperate to free his brother who is on death row in the prison Fox River.  Michael, an engineer dedicates his life to free his innocent brother!  He tattoos the ENTIRE prison on his body, as well as how he'll escape.  Along the way, he runs into problem after problem, and these problems were not tattooed on his body, so it left him on edge and made him think on the moment.  This makes for such a great narrative! It is structured through his life, as well as a few others (who enter his life along the way).  It is constatley being told through the eyes of himself as well as through another character. The director of this show is brilliant.  The use of camera angle, characters, and plot all intertwine, and you never end an episode knowing what is going to happen next; it's always open ended, and to make that makes for an amazing show, with an incredibly narrative. A MUST SEE in my eyes.
