One more star for Michael and Sarah's belated confession.
If the first half of the second season, which is dominated by Michael and Ma Hong's wit, still has some shadows of the previous work, then the second half of the season is the ultimate combination of vulgar elements such as parkour, racing, jumping, and one-second anti-kill. Stitch monster. In fact, this is expected, because in the first season, although the protagonist as a prisoner is at an absolute disadvantage, the closed environment of the prison means that there are different social laws from the outside world, even in the most In the worst case, there is still the warden, who is theoretically omnipotent in the prison, as the protagonist. Therefore, in the first season, we saw that ZF and the secret organization's helium pressure on the protagonist group is mainly reflected in Veronica outside the prison. As a freelancer and a lawyer with a certain social status, Veronica is more in a situation than Michael and Lincoln are much stronger and have far more resources to use than they do. In addition, in the first season, Caroline and the forces behind her were not completely in power, and they had scruples in many things, so the thrilling escapes of the protagonist group could be convincing enough. The second season was different. The first is that the main stage has been moved from the closed space of prison to the whole of the United States and even the whole of America, and the second is that Caroline became the president, and she and the forces behind her have played the whole country in the palm of their hands. So the confrontation between good and evil changed from two prisoners, two lawyers plus other forces in the prison system (the warden and doctors) against the mysterious organization to the whole state machine against three fugitives, so when the Asian villain Kim asked his men why they I had the same doubts as him when he couldn't even handle an engineer and a punk. In such a situation where the forces of the good and the evil are extremely unbalanced, the only way is to convince the positive party mechanically, and to convince the negative party without a brain (of course, there are also cases of subduing the positive party, for example, I still have no idea why they ended up not directly by boat), and even the broad masses of the people are in a Schrödinger state with and without prosopagnosia. Behind the scenes and behind the scenes, a good guy becomes a bad guy in a second, a bad guy becomes a good guy in a second, I get caught in one second, you are caught in the next second, and so on, and so on for most of the season. So instead of calling it "Prison Break", this season might as well be called "Matryoshka".
assassin. Lincoln's character in the first season was very instrumental, a victim, an innocent, an object to be rescued. Therefore, although his role is not three-dimensional, the parts of his character that can reflect the characteristics of the victim, such as simple-minded but heavy-hearted, such as impulsive and reckless but kind and straightforward, are fully displayed. In the second season, the writers first added a suspicious character to Lincoln, which logically makes sense, after all, Lincoln was framed and spent three years in prison. However, the plot of Lincoln accusing Michael of being too gullible still has a strong sense of inconsistency, because Michael did not show the tendency to trust others easily in the previous work. On the contrary, Michael was clear-headed, thoughtful, and rarely emotional, characteristics that Lincoln did not possess. But compared to what I'm about to mention below, this place is only a minor flaw. What really assasinates Lincoln is his indifference to Sarah, who may have her life in danger because of his imprisonment, and his responsibility for indirectly killing people in the process of escaping them in order to escape conscience. All pushed on Michael's head, and even said that Michael shouldn't have saved him in the first place. I don't know why the screenwriter designed this bridge, is it to create a conflict between brothers? Was it to embody Michael's nobility through Lincoln's selfishness? If it's the latter, it's not really necessary, and that's when it comes to Michael's characterization. As the leader of the prison escape plan, Michael must have a high IQ, be able to master astronomy, understand geography, and understand a little art in the middle. And because the prison break itself is against morals and the law in common sense (to a certain extent, as Michael said, they do have blood on their hands), so only let the protagonist meet a very high moral standard, high To the extent that they can't turn a blind eye to any injured and weak people around them, the audience can have sympathy for the protagonist and subjectively hope that the protagonist can escape from prison (actually, I think the screenwriter has even gone too far, and added Michael on the basis of the above). Because of the unfortunate life experience, it can be said that the beauty and power are full of miserable buffs). And so, Michael is such a near-perfect character that the last thing he needs is a contrast to show his perfection. Unfortunately, the writers don't seem to realize this, as what happened to Lincoln also happened to Sarah in season five. First of all, I have not and will not watch the fifth season. The plots I know are all from the comment area, which may be different from the facts. In the fifth season, Sarah had doubts about Michael's love, so she was deceived by the villain, and even helped the villain investigate Michael. The screenwriter designed such a plot, either to reflect Michael's affection through Sarah's suspicion, or to write some sadomasochism to cater to the market. If it is the former, then as I said above, the role of Sarah has been assassinated. If it's the latter, I just want to say that compared to the conscience, responsibility and emotional dilemma Sarah faced at the end of the first season, this vulgar plot can only be described as cheap.
Finally, I would like to borrow a sentence from Douyou in the short comment area, "If pb only has one season", but unfortunately, in the face of interests, this kind of if is destined to not exist.
