Jailbreak is more sad - the end of "Prison Break"

The Prison Break episode is over. No matter how amazing Mi Shuai is in the first and first seasons, no matter how the screenwriters sleepwalk together in the second and third seasons, and no matter how heart-stopping the finale is, this four-year-old series is over. The level of screenwriting in the United States is really good enough. The baggage at the end of each episode or season will make you want to stay in front of the TV and wait for the answer to be revealed in the next episode, although you know that the next episode will usually use a Greater suspense, to answer the questions you discovered in the last episode. But everything has two sides, and it is actually difficult for the average audience to watch the climax of the plots like "Prison Break" and "24 Hours" a second time. It's not like "Friends" or "Sex and the City" where you can find happiness over and over again, because that's how our lives are reflected.

After seeing the last second of the ending of "Prison Break", I was actually a little happy. First, the two hard-working brothers finally don't need to repeatedly escape from prison for the basic rights of freedom, and second, this series that should have ended in the second season finally ended. Prison is the soul of escape, in this different world, because of certain goals, the complexity of human nature is presented, beautiful and ugly, all appear so vivid and real. This should be the main reason behind the great success of the first season of Prison Break. The two brothers who ran out in the second season are getting more and more unable to find their way, and the audience should feel the same way. It is estimated that the screenwriters grasped that "Michael's most handsome time is when he planned and executed a prison break in prison", so the third season crossed it again. It's getting better, but why is the jailbreak team so similar to the first season? Not to mention T-bag and Sucre, there is also a boss and an authentic. In the fourth season, I finally knew why the two brothers' lives were so miserable, but there was no way. Except for desperate and chasing and fleeing, it seemed unreasonable not to go beyond the last one, so there was the final break of the fourth season.

My personal feeling is that Finalbreak has directly lowered the standard of jailbreaking by more than one grade. The tightness of time does not allow the plot to have a lot of information, but as the last episode, there are still many plots to explain, which also makes the last episode very anticlimactic. In addition, many plots that cannot stand scrutiny also make this more and more unclear. How can Sarah run directly out of the last two doors? Don't the iron gates of the prison need to be locked? Moreover, the alarm has been sounded for a long time, and the police force in the prison has not stepped up patrolling? Such a plot with obvious flaws actually came from the writing team of "Prison Break"? It's unintelligible, very incomprehensible.

It is said that the later seasons of "Prison Break" have dropped out of the top 50 in the US ratings. This should be regarded as the hardest indicator for the quality identification of the drama. By contrast, Mi Shuai's popularity in China has continued unabated, although his weight appears to have also increased. But no matter how unconvincing the next few seasons are, I don't think anyone will deny the amazingness of the first season of "Prison Break", and the handsome guy who sacrificed his future for his brother and fought against fate will always remain in our memory. . Because he is not only a high-IQ prison escape master, but a fighter who dares to fight against the entire social system for the goal he has identified, and what he has crossed is not just the prison.
