At the close of Prison Break's terrific season 1, the motley crew of convicts successfully accomplished the title. So naturally, season 2 becomes about the manhunt, where the best-laid plans of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller)--concealed in his body tattoo with his escape route and hinted at throughout last season--get thrown for a loop. First, he and his convicted brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) are torn between fleeing the country and staying to clear Lincoln's name, which draws them deeper into a conspiracy that surpasses even the President of the United States (Patricia Wettig). Second, they're simultaneously pursued by Agent Kellerman (a terrific Paul Adelstein); prison warden Bellick (Wade Williams), now a bounty hunter; and a new pursuer: FBI agent Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner in all his bug-eyed glory), whose intelligence makes him a worthy foe to Michael, and whose pill-popping habit makes him just unstable enough to be interesting. There's also a new sinister lackey for the Company named Bill Kim (Reggie Lee, whose constant grimacing smile is a result of being instructed to act like a "customer service representative" while arranging for characters to be killed off, the actor reveals in commentary). Meanwhile, the other escapees scatter across the county, eluding the FBI as they try to reunite with their loved ones--Abruzzi (Peter Stormare), C-Note (Rockmond Dunbar), and Sucre (Amaury Nolasco)--or settle scores (in the case of T-Bag, played by Robert Knepper). But lest you think the series will split in 10 different directions, there's always the money hidden in Utah by fellow prisoner Westmoreland that will eventually lead them to cross paths again. Season 2, taking place outside prison walls, doesn't have the claustrophobic tension of season 1; instead, it becomes one long Fugitive-esque chase, which lost interest every time it kept shifting to different characters' storylines. There are more baits-and-switches than you'd care to keep track of, and more than a little suspended disbelief. But the intriguing center of the drama will always be the way Michael's forced to think on his feet when his grand plans hit their snags, whereas in Fox River he was most assuredly in control (it also forces Miller's stoic acting to loosen up a little). Moreover, his unexpected feelings for Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies), who was found overdosed in her apartment at the end of season 1, further complicates Michael's disappearance plans. The DVD includes several candid commentaries by cast members and show creators, and an Easter egg that alludes to the "death wall" (number of casualties) the show's writers kept in production offices. --Ellen A. Kim

Out and running! November 24, 2008
Holly Arnold (Houston, TX USA)
Escaping Fox River was just the beginning. Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows and the rest are out and on the run. Season 2 is more nail-biting, non-stop action and introduces Michael's smartest and most dangereous nemises yet - agent Alex Mahone (William Fitchner). A couple of good making-of extras, but would have like to see more actor commentaries.
5 Stars From Afghanistan October 31, 2008
Christina Kerr (Afghanistan)
I got this product A LOT sooner then expected and seeing as how i am in Afghanistan, it was great to get this DVD within 2 weeks of ordering.
Awesome show! October 30, 2008
Chanta Gilliland (Oklahoma)
After starting and finishing season 1, I couldn't wait to start season 2. I absolutely love this show. It is directed and produced with professionalism and the actors / actresses in the show are amazing. KEEP IT COMING!
 Don't compare with Season 1 October 26, 2008
Chandan Sharma (Gurgaon, HR, India)
It's better not to compare the two. Though the comparison happens naturally with Season 1, however, there is a lot of difference between the two. Not really because the plot was different but unlike Season 1 where things made sense in each episode, in Season 2 there are strange (rather illogical) things happening. You are forced to jump out of the engrossment on many occassion. At times I even felt like "It's ok, after all it's just on TV", still good to watch.
Now I am going in for Season 3. Let's see how Scofield dents Panama :-).
I can't wait for Season 3 September 21, 2008

Season 2 was very good and has made me want to buy Season 3. I can't wait to see what else all the characters have in mind!!
