After being gone many years, the show returned last night for a nine episode limited run.
Probably inspired by the limited run of “X Files”, hopefully they don’t ruin the original too.

Not to be too judgmental, but anyone who ends up in jail as much as those guys do, probably belongs there.

I really enjoyed the original run, up until the last 3/4 of the final season. But I stuck with it to the end.
I missed the premiere last night but I’ll catch it on streaming. If it’s like the first two seasons, great fun. If it’s like the last season, I’ll pass.

First, it wasn’t really her head, and now he’s alive _after they examined and buried his body?_
Why watch a show where you can’t believe a single thing you see and anything can be undone? Where’s the suspense?

**"Prison Break" is back-Do we care?**
We don’t.

Agreed on both counts.

Did we care the first time?
Did we notice it was gone?

Seriously. The “not really her head” bit was just brutal. Probably the worst TV retcon I can think of. It’s too bad, the show was fine for one season.
