Prison Break Jumps The Shark
by Dave Z on Dec.23, 2008, under Blog
To be quite honest, I might be late in saying this, but I think Prison Break has finally jumped the shark. I am just sick and tired of the storyline and am driven to the point of vomit when I hear the voices of many of the characters. Part of me wishes I would’ve just bailed on the show during Season 2, but I hadn’t grown to hate it yet and Season 3 seemed to get things back on the right track.
That said, the series has clearly gone on for far too long. The characters just lack the depth that’s needed to sustain them beyond a couple of seasons. The best thing that happened to the series was when Sarah Tancredi died but they fucked that up and it turned out she was still alive. Now every single episode I’m stuck praying that the bitch dies because she’s one of the most annoying female characters on television.
The only reason I don’t straight up call her the absolute most annoying is that the chick Gretchen on the show gives her a run for her money in that department. Sarah and Gretchen both try to use their sexuality on the show but it’s never believable because they’re devoid of any sex appeal or the ability to act. I want them killed off like you wouldn’t imagine.
What’s worse, the guys are starting to annoy me equally as much. I’ve never hated a male character in a movie or television series as much as I hate Lincoln Burrows. The guy’s a giant duschbag that should’ve never been saved from the electric chair in the first place. I have grown to completely despise him over the years. For this show to make me happy again, Lincoln, Sarah and Gretchen all need to die horrifically painful and violent deaths. It’s the only thing that could possibly save it.
