Amazon.co.uk Review
It was always going to be a challenge to move a show whose premise effectively fitted comfortably inside a single series to a third season. And so perhaps inevitably, Prison Break moves the action back to the slammer, this time in Panama. It proves to be a wise choice, as, while plausibility has long since been thrown out of the window, it's a more natural setting for the show. Prison Break still follows brothers Lincoln and Michael Burrows, but this time there's a far tougher prison that needs to be broken out of. It's a little less claustrophobic than the last one, but more dangerous. And along with the usual terrific supporting cast of characters, the tension, twists and violence that underpin the show are all very much present and correct. Powering Prison Break forwards, of course, is the pin-up star Wentworth Miller, who owns his role as Michael, and grounds many of the show's extremities. And while it's a shorter season than the first two, this third run still manages to cram in some strong entertainment. Perhaps season three isn't Prison Break's finest hour, and perhaps the concept has diluted somewhat since the show first began. But this is still really good, assured entertainment, that knows what it wants to do and simply gets on with it. For that alone, it remains a show hard to resist. --Jon Foster

 Amazing!!! July 9, 2008
Mrs. M. Laird (Lancashire, England)
I am a massive Prison Break Fan and this season did not disappoint me (apart from being only 13 episodes), I was gutted when Sky one took it and I have had to wait for the boxset but this allowed me to have aa amazing Prison Break marathon. In true Prison Break style this season is full of suspense, twists an turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait for season 4...I love this show!!
Can't really judge till after season 4 July 6, 2008
Student Viewer (England)
The story hasn't finished yet so until we see season 4 you can't really comment on the story too much. What we've seen so far has some similarities with season 1 but not so much that it ruins it at all. It's still interesting and you always want to know what happens next. The characters are all great and every little thing ties in well (although not quite as much as season one). Still brilliant tv though! Things happen much faster than in the likes of Lost.
Best if watched in the space of a few days!
Prison Break 3 is dark, gritty and plain brilliant!!!! Sona is Hell! July 4, 2008
Mr. Carl David Corby (England)
When you look at the intelligence and the quality of the first Season and the pace and the depth of the second, what was missing was the dark and gritty side and Season 3 has that in all 13 episodes. It is more dark, we see the violent side of Michael Scofield and the emotional side instead of his clam persona. The setting is scary, brutal and an image of hell. Sona is without a doubt, the scariest prison you will ever come across. The inmates run the yard, people die and nobody comes out alive. The writers were really clever with Sona, it is the setting that we get to see Michael's different side. The side where he is not only brains but aggressive. I think the star of the 3rd Season is Alex Mahone's character. He has become more important as the show goes on and the newfound respect he finds with Michael is great for the show. With the sweaty and heated feel of Panama and the dark, rainy, hot and brutal reality of Sona.........this Season is brilliant and is the best of the lot in my view.
Completely Addictive June 29, 2008
A. J. Hepworth (UK)
I think series 3 is nearly almost as brilliant as series 1 - once again completely addictive/compulsive viewing. How do the writers think of all those twists and turns. Amazing. Throughly enjoyed performances by Wade Williams (Brad Ballick) Robert Knepper (T-Bag) and Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield)...still disappointed one of the main strong characters got killed off in series 2 but the writers soon bring in other strong actors and storylines. Cant wait to see series 4 (if there is one - I do keep reading they are filming).
 Deeply deeply silly - how the mighty have fallen! June 28, 2008
E. Whitmore
The plotting is repetitious and silly - almost laughably so at times - and there's a general air of desperation and ever decreasing circles about the whole enterprise. Such a shame because the first two series were so bracingly taut and bursting with good characters. What really sinks Season 3 is the casting of a terrible actor in a major role - Whistler - every time the actor opens his mouth you can see Wentworth Miller or which ever unfortunate member of the cast he happens to share a scene with wincing in anticipation of that reliably 100% wooden delivery. at the end of season 2 sona was billed as a lawless scary kind of place but it turns out to be quite a colourful cheeful little joint - a bit like a cheap holiday camp in fact and about as gritty. fox river and its inmates were considerably scarier and more threatening not mention more realistic.
