Past week we were finally able to end up season 4 of Prison Break. At the "winter break" I wrote my review of the show so far. And due to this break I've drawn one big conclusion: always wait for the show to complete before seeing it. I mean, we saw all the available episodes, the break came and we started watching season 7 of "24" and some movies. Due to all this mixing, when we restarted to follow Prison Break, I was continuously wondering what had happened. All I remembered was that it had been so exciting, but I wasn't fully aware of the full storyline.
I hate to say it, but the final six episodes aren't comparable in excitement to the previous episodes. I almost comes to a halt and the tension doesn't came back until episodes 21 and 22. Sure, a lot of things happen and all four seasons and their characters come together to close it up, but it just wasn't the same as the first 18-ish episodes of the season. Due to this lack in perfection I'm forced to give the whole season a lower rating than I'd given to season 4 in the previous review.
The show comes to a conclusion and I loved to see this season. Comparing it to season 2 and 3 this last one is really good. And all the story-lines are closed to satisfaction and questions are answered. And the end is satisfying; I dug it and if the show really ended like that (which it doesn't because "Prison Break - The final break" is coming afterwards) I would have had peace with the show. And seeing it end, it left me wondering what "The final break" was going to bring us...
My rating: 8 out of 10 |
