Like many people, I came into contact with PB from the recommendation of my friends, but because I was deeply influenced by "The Shawshank Redemption", it is estimated that a TV series cannot surpass such a far-reaching old movie. With the attitude of taking a look and talking, I started the prison escape journey.
The first 3 episodes of this film basically did not have the idea of ​​escaping from the movie. It was nothing more than to save myself to save him, banker to architect... It was not until I saw the fifth episode of the film that I gradually abandoned my prejudice and merged into it. into the drama. Perhaps this is the superiority shown by TV dramas compared with movies. TV dramas have given a relatively ample space and time to express the ability of screenwriters and directors to challenge themselves and exceed audience expectations at all times. The most touching thing is that every time a problem is solved, the rhythm relatively slows down, and another problem that is more difficult to deal with appears, and the whole story is pushed forward with a wave of unresolved and tense rhythms. I can't help but sigh that the screenwriter's professionalism is always daring to challenge himself. This is a comprehensive manifestation of self-confidence, wisdom, and challenge. It is really admirable!

    FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone: I'd like to, uh, talk about John Wilkes Booth for a moment, if I could, Abraham Lincoln's killer. Twelve days. That's how long it took to find him. In his journal during this period he wrote that the shadow was his friend, the night his domain. He acknowledged that whatever neurosis drove the criminal to commit the original crime is compounded. Magnified by flight. By the sounds of dogs at his heels. Fear becomes paranoia, paranoia ultimately psychosis. I bring this up because in one hundred and forty years, the fundamental mind of the escape man has not changed. The escape man is still human, he is still afraid, and he will stop at nothing in his attempt at flight. Fortunately for us, while our quarry has shadow and night as his ally, we have something far greater. Television. I would encourage everyone who is watching. Everyone in this country, to take a good look at these faces...
