Must Watch TV Part 2

The past weekend hasn't been memorable for me to say the least. Not only did I not have a date, I had a fever and an inflamed throat to boot, bummer.

Anyway, let me just vent out a weekend's worth of pent up frustration and confinement by posting the second installment to my Must Watch TV post.

Prison Break - I am so excited about this show coz it finally reached Philippine shores! It had a grand premiere last week, like a movie premiere, very unusual for a foreign TV show in this country. I am glad that Crime & Suspense Channel has pull out all stops to promote and hype up this show. All I can say is, it deserves it and once you’ve watched it, you’ll agree with me, it’s worth it. What do I like about this show? Two words: Wentworth Miller. Ok make it four words: Wentworth Miller and Michael Scoffield.

Long story short, without giving major spoilers:

Lincoln Burrows, was framed for murder and waiting on death row. Believing in Lincoln’s innocence, his younger brother Michael, a successful structural engineer, deliberately held up a bank so he can go to the same prison, with the intent of breaking out of it with his brother. Whew, crazy eh? Did I mention that they have to break out before Lincoln’s execution, which is 30 days? How’s that for a suspense thriller?

That’s just the main plot, which is easily revealed in the first 2 episodes. It gets better after that. Now don’t start worrying, what happens after the 30 days, regardless if they escape or not. The Creator has already mapped out the story until end of Season 2. Watching this show felt like watching 24 in theater mode. With Brett Ratner on the helm, what else can you expect?

Prison Break starts airing tonight on Crime & Suspense Channel.
