Sometimes I can forget to discern what I am watching until I am already done with it. I was done with 4 seasons of Prison Break inside of 2 1/2 weeks. After watching Prison Break, I find myself asking questions like: “Was that show necessarily good to watch? Was it worth it? Did the good outweigh the bad? What was the good? What was the bad?” I have to admit, when I watch TV, I blaze a trail. To someone getting clean, I wouldn’t ever recommend Breaking Bad. You get the idea. For some who have had a family member murdered, it would be seriously insensitive to recommend Dexter to them as a show they should watch. In light of that perspective, I find it difficult to watch certain shows regardless of plot, story, character development, entertainment, or complexity.

It’s a free country, but again, this is just my two cents. There is some real crap out there, and limiting the amount of seriously messed up content that we expose ourselves to is generally a good idea. Some people just let ANYTHING enter their brains, and sorry if I’m too frank, but that is pretty dumb…not even from a religious context, just from a wise context. As a Christ follower, I live a life that runs media and other stimuli through a filter of discernment and wisdom. This is not a broad sweeping generalization, but rather more individualized.

This can be used as a crutch to justify watching the show…if you know that this is something that you shouldn’t be watching. There is a well written script and incredible character development. I think that from a faith perspective (a word I haven’t used since Calvin College, ha) I am conflicted with Prison Break, as with other shows ( Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Dexter, etc) With these shows and Prison Break, there lies a very complex and fascinating story/plot. A line said by Michael says it all, “You have obviously seriously underestimated the lengths I am willing to go to to get my brother out of prison.” I found this show an excellent study in morality, good & evil, and the nature of man. They were willing to do ANYTHING to protect the ones they loved and cared about. The “bad” sides of “good” men generally reared their ugly heads in the show when they were trying to protect family or loved ones. Very few things are ever black and white, but rather a thick shade of grey. The show was excellent at demonstrating the grey areas of life. Viewers were able to see his more vulnerable moments and even pitied him occasionally. Even the most despised character, Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell, who killed recklessly and was convicted sex offender was not all bad. Evil were very evident in this show and were not only portrayed by the “good guys” or just the “bad guys.” You generally were exposed to good and bad in every character. Throughout the show, you could see the weight that Michael took on himself for the bad that had been done. Though he never pulled the trigger, people’s lives were ruined by some of the things Michael needed to do in order to get his brother out of prison. The show constantly illustrated the moral war being waged inside Michael’s head, and this was fascinating to me as a viewer. He refused to murder anyone, and always found a way around hurting others. I loved Michael Scofield the most, as he always tried to do the right thing, and was nearly always loyal and honorable. No character should ever be perceived to be perfect and always good. The characters were difficult to love, which is very real to life. I was captivated the entire time I was watching and I thought the show had its fair share of plot twists, which I love. From a story buff’s perspective, I thought that this show did an excellent job. I thought that Prison Break was a complex and intense show. Scofield must make connections on the prison block that will aid him in his escape, but enemies are sure to make slow work of Michael’s plans. Burrows is on death row, and scheduled for execution within the month.

Michael is convinced that his brother, Lincoln Burrows, is innocent of the crime for which he was committed, which was the murder of the vice president’s brother. Prison Break follows a man, Michael Scofield, on his mission to break his brother out of prison.

So, in good nature, I have decided to give my fairly unbiased opinions about a television show that was first featured in 2005 and I first watched in 2012 called Prison Break. I am finding it hard to remove myself cold turkey from the act of reviewing media that I come in contact with.
