The last couple of episodes were also well scripted, well paced, and held our attention with ease. However, one can only wonder how long this cat and mouse game between Scofield (and gang) and the Company can go on for. The mid-season change of “villain” from Wyatt to Self was ingenious, but any more changes in antagonists and the series will once again barrel into being tedious and far too drawn out.
Already, this chase between Scofield and gang and the Company has gone on for four seasons, and it’s about time that we are given some kind of resolution, instead of the antagonists changing so frequently, from season to season, that in the end no viewer can remain invested in whether Scofield and gang survive or not. The audience will start to get apathetic about a show’s protagonists when the antagonists keep changing, and in the process this dilutes the excitement of rooting for the hero. Hence, let’s hope that Prison Break knows when to pull the plug before Scofield and his antics turn sour and tiresome on us.
