Writers strike happened.

This happens when people never get satisfied.

The initial story was meant for two seasons, Wentworth Miller said in some interview. But then the public wants more of the same story, the managers want more money, the actors want more fame.
So they continue, they make something alike and then people start complaining...

In season 3 I liked the music though. There were some good rhythms, while in season 1 and 2 the background music is real bad except "Willing to Dye" and "Roll on Big Mama" - only two songs worth listening to.

In season 4 they managed to do a break-in for change so it kept interesting after all.

I agree that seasons 1 and 2 are the best, but I liked the rest too.

Yeah it should have ended in season 2. When Michael finds Sarah on the boat. Bill Kim should have never showed up. Even though there were some crazy (never-gonna-happen-irl) stuff and plot holes, I think it's one of the best tv shows ever.

But I enjoyed the rest of it too. Season 3 is my least favorite coz I didn't like the setting. I'm really glad there's gonna be another one.

Of course, that's right after Kellerman left, coincidence? I think not, lol.

BB is horridly overrated and PB is pretty much in the great category like Dexter is.

What's wrong with you, OP?

season 3 had some real great moments too. First of all Lincoln's love story is real nice, then the way the brothers work together from the inside and the outside, Mahone going down to the ground and coming up again, McGrady who managed to come with them after all - and stay out, T-Bag who is clever as hell...

The idea of a prison without guards is great. Otherwise it would have been the same as season 1.

Many people don't like season 3 but my "Spanish heart" enjoyed it ;-)

Just like every show except Breaking Bad.
But Prison Break it's because the original writer left and they got him bad writers replacing him.

So go on. Kiss me. Kill me. Do something.
