Advantages: find out what's in store after Fox River Disadvantages: a few absurdities
Prison Break is probably the most original series in telivison today. When I was first introduced to the show I was impressed by the sheer brilliance of the plot and its authentic storyline. Each episode was as heart-pounding as the next. I thought there wasn't any TV show on earth that could beat it. I just loved it. For the seacond season, let's break it down first to see if it's as good as the first one.
Eight prisoners were able to escape from ... ...of escape not just from prison but out of US teritorry as well. Unfortunately for the eight, an agent named Alexander Mahone figured out Michael's tattoo and was closing in on them. It turned out he had a haunted past and made a bargain with The Company. His mission was to eliminate all eight escapees, which he partly accomplished with John Abruzzi, David "Tweener" Apolskis, and Charles "Haywire" Patoshik. The rest of the gang, however, made a run ...

Advantages A really good follow on Disadvantages shoud be longer :)
...of a kiss up to his superiors.
I also dont like Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) he is a very interesting character. I think the actor does a really good job. He seems to be a very smart and devious character. He is a drug addict and with out his fix he gets really paranoid.
Prisonbreakseason2 is made really well and leaves us on a cliff hanger on the last episode.
The first episode is called Manhunt. The inmates are on the run and being chased by officers as they cross a train track with a train racing through it. Alexander Mahone, a special agent gets assigned for the case and he appears on TV telling America to take a good long look into the faces of the escapees. The inmates steal a car and head to a storage facility in Oswego with Mahone on their trail. Michael has a tattoo reading "Ripe Chane Woods" a Tombstone...

Advantages Action, drama, tension .. you name it! Disadvantages None!
...After the massive success of the first season, the second season of PrisonBreak first aired in the UK towards the end of 2006 on Channel 5, and the complete season2 DVD box set was released in August 2007. Created by Paul Scheuring, Season2 follows on immediately after the brilliant finale of the excellent first season, and continues to surprise and excite as it somehow manages to eclipse the drama levels of the first season.
Following the escape from Fox River Penetentiary, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and a number of other inmates including Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) and T-Bag (Robert Knepper), are now on the run in their bid for freedom. In close pursuit is FBI agent Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner), who must battle to contain the demons of his own past, in order to track down...

...If you've seen the 1st series of PrisonBreak, no doubt you'll be watching the second series. If you haven't seen the 1st series, then watch it before reading this review as it may spoil what happens.
There are 22 episodes for Season2.

Manufacturer's product description
Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller, THE HUMAN STAIN) and his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell, JOHN DOE) might have escaped prison at the end of season one, but that doesn't mean that drama and action have to end in this thrilling series' second year. Michael, Lincoln, and a group of escaped convicts aren't just on the run from the law, led by an FBI agent (William Fichtner, INVASION). They're also devoting their time to uncovering a vast government plot that takes them all over the world. Like fellow serial dramas LOST and 24, PRISON BREAK is a complex series driven by smart stories and engaging action that rewards multiple viewings. This release includes all 22 episodes of the second season, plus audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, and more.
