Prison Break (TV Series) The Liar (2017) User Reviews

Same Old Same Old.

[azizy21 · 7/10 · 20 April 2017]

It is as if I am now expecting things to happen. It's not keeping me on edge as the breaks in season 3 and 1 did. I kind of feel that I know exactly what will happen while watching an episode, I am still waiting for a surprise though.The season so far has been good, I don't think that they will be able to tell the whole story in 6 more episodes.

We have not seen much from Sucre and Tbag yet which I hope I do soon.

I have been arguing with my friend about a possible mistake in this episode by the way, There was a blackout in the whole city but at the same time, it was lit in the village where Lincoln was.

I give it a 7, I expect more.

Not very disappointing.

I really like this episode and how it ends.

I thought they may have some trouble to get out of Yemen. But things changed. Micheal's plan failed, despite Lincoln and C-note effort. He and her friends in prison couldn't BREAK OUT (I did't expect this, and that's perfect).

I hope next episodes would be much intriguing.

My rank 9/10.

So far, so good

After all the introduction and pleasantries in the previous episodes, this one delves right into the plot and offers some really thrilling action and suspense. We are able to know more about Michael's motivations and his reasons for being in prison. This episode further adds depth to the story. Much like the previous seasons which involves Michael being in prison, there's always an episode which features an escape but ends up failing, This pseudo-escape has all the stakes and put the characters in dearing situations but ends playing safe at the end. Even though, it's predictable, it doesn't take away the excitement for me. There's also a mention of a mysterious figure called Poseidon who could be the mastermind behind of it. Overall, a solid, entertaining and thrilling episode with some development in the plot.

A better ending.

Some spoiler. Those who are complaining that there isn't much of a story to come, well, that's the point. They are trying to give us a better ending to the show than what was given to us in the final break. I am more than happy with that. They could have just said 'forget it.' I am please with how the episodes are so far. I didn't expect Michael to get caught while breaking out and it made me wanting to see what happens next. I definitely think they're on the right track.

this is brilliant

the story moving smoothly, the twist with Michael get caught while he is escaping its brilliant, the truth about that Michael deep down he is still keep his true character after all what happened to him its great, and even after this after this season I can't stop watching this great TV series

No bigger story hiding up!

[danielmatanic · 6/10 · 20 April 2017]

contains spoilers I'm quite disappointed with this episode. After interesting end of the last episode I thought that they will continue with dramatic ending,what is why we all loved this show. But first time in 5 seasons they blow it up. The scene they break out is simply not made good .It has no drama in that scene. The story-line is revealing itself and it seems that there is nothing bigger in plot that is coming. There is no bigger plan behind the main story-line we are following. Hope there is something more to come.

Have a little faith in your audience

More on the nose dialogue!! "You know that American is Michael, right?" Really C-Note? Lincoln is dumb, but if he didn't figure that out by himself maybe someone else should help Michael escape.…. Oh wait... Sorry! He told him so the audience wouldn't be confused..

This show really doesn't expect it's audience to be too smart. You can explain things by suggestions or visual imagery, other than have your character flat out tell the audience the information. And if that same information was already painfully clear by the events preceding the scene, you definitely don't have much faith in the attention span of your audience. Come on, Scheuring! Have a little faith in your audience.

The episode is still an improvement over the previous episode. But it's a shame that the new series wants to focus on more conspiracies again. It's an element that killed the previous season. The prison stuff could be way more interesting if they would focus more on the life inside such a prison (like they did with Fox River or even Sona). But most of the time they try to develop a conspiracy outside of the prison with Sarah in the middle.

Spoiler: We get an emotional last couple of minutes, when Michael's escape fails. But as a viewer I was glad. Maybe now as a viewer we can get invested in an escape plan which we see Michael develop. Because constantly having Wentworth Miller say; we're going to escape tonight" and „You have to trust me" is not a good way to build your tension and excitement. Because you don't even know what they want to do. Which results in you not being very invested in what's going on. (With Fox River and Sona, you were on the edge of your seat because you saw a plan develop and it felt like you were escaping with them.) And if Michael's character is too smart for audiences to follow, please develop a character inside the prison next to Michael. (as an ally, not as a potential distrustful backstabber) The show needs a new focal point (like Fernando Sucre) with whom the audience can identify more. Because it sure as hell isn't Michael.

Let's see what Michael will pull out of his ass in the next couple of episodes.
