    Why was this show cancelled?

    This show deserved atleast 5 seasons. The storyline was well written, each episode had its own plot with a main plot developing throughout. What's not fun about cons catching cons. It baffles me how shows like this get canned while mindless dross is left on for years. Netflix should have picked this up

    Actually, It's Really Good

    Breakout Kings is the show that i've been waiting for a long time. I enjoyed the prison break, first two seasons at least. And my expectations weren't that much from BK because before the show starts, i knew there's going to be a show like Prison Break but without constantly going story, after and after episodes waiting to resolve some points about whats going on and what will happen. That's why i like BK so much.

    It's an one story for an episode show. Scripts are well written, castings are perfectly fit for the characters and the director Nick Santora shows us that he's the one for the prison and convict stories.

    The long and the short of it, if you like Prison Break a bit and if you enjoy the episode based stories with good acting and thriller, Breakout Kings is inevitable for you.

    Not bad

    The first few episodes were a drag. It got better once you got to know the main characters.

    Although there is one minor thing that annoys me. For every prison that appears in the show they use the same alarm noise. Well it's hard to explain what the noise is, but it's incredibly annoying and breaks immersion cus I highly doubt every single prison uses that exact same noise. You'll know the noise when you hear it.

    Why is it always the good shows that get cancelled

    I've never seen a show that has been cancelled at a worse time. The way season 2 ended was awesome and I was so looking forward to season 3 but 'ey.

    The reason I watched this is because Jimmi Simpson, huge fan of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and I wanted to see him in more stuff so I checked this out and it is....AWESOME. I was always looking for another prison show after Prison Break

    It took a while to like the characters, especially Ray, but they grow on you eventually.

    The ways the runners escape are very entertaining, it's the thing I looked forward to the most.

    I like how Jules hasn't got an over-the-top computer set-up either like Garcia in Criminal Mind for example, makes for a nice change. This shows feels a lot more earthy and real compared to other criminal catching shows like NCIS/Criminal Minds etc.

    The whole '1 month of your sentence per escaped criminal you catch' is very cool too.

    Totally worth it.

    The more I see of this show, the more I like it. The characters are each individual (meaning well-written and acted personalities) with diverse backgrounds and issues all their own. One of the hooks (I believe) is that each member of the team is a black sheep in some way...finding out what each of them have done (or can't do?) is probably what will keep most people watching. The actors have a wonderful chemistry, as well!

    Each episode, so far, someone breaks out of prison (the "bad guys" are also unique and interesting) and our reluctant band of misfits has to round up said villain and essentially save the day. How they do all this is what we watch for. Different every time...never lets up. If you're not already watching, give it a go.
