Prison Break

A friend passed on the first season of "Prison Break" and its ruined my life. Its bloody addictive and I keep trying to squeeze in time to view it instead of preparing for meetings and other such essentials.

There are several irritating things about it but nevertheless its got a certain something that keeps me going back to it. However, I may try to avoid the 2nd season, I think the big conspiracy theory is too cliched and hard to believe. I'm just happy to see these folks get out of prison and fulfil the promise of the series title.
The Wikipedia entry had a nice dig about the series -- about how they finally managed to get out on Plan Z after being in danger of running out of letters of the alphabet.
Wentworth Miller acts great. The whole strong silent thing -- works great. And bloody good-looking.

Some spoiler discussion:
At the end of one of the episodes when Scofield scalds off part of the map -- that was one of the low points. It felt so contrived.
I just saw the second to last episode where the fat guy gets RG-ed. Quite sad.
