      Audience Reviews for Prison Break: Season 4

      • Nov 20, 2022
        So many illogical plot solutions that I kept asking myself "why the hell am I wasting my time on this shite". Didn't manage to finish the season, second time around didn't manage to finish the whole series.
      • Oct 21, 2022
        Prison Break's (first) series finale will bring closure to the diehard fans, but the season's ludicrous, plot-breaking twists betray the feeling that this saga should have ended a jailbreak or two before.
      • Sep 08, 2022
        tbh here. when i started wtaching this series, i knew it was about a guy trying to get out of prison and that it had 5 season, the 5th, came years later.. the first season was awesome, i enjoyed every episode but was suprised that the break happend happend at the end but we still had 4 season to go. i thought, it was 4 or the 5 season about the break. season 4 is so much of what this series started with, that i only watch it to have it completed. the way i see it, the series could have ended after season 2, when at the end, everything worked out as micheal planned it in the first place.
      • Oct 22, 2021
        Really good season. I liked the changes they made like making the characters other than being in prison breaks or chased down and then at the end not becoming criminals anymore. But it is too long and feels sometimes the same.
      • Aug 22, 2021
        Season full of twists, much better than the previous season, in general I liked it.
      • Apr 22, 2021
        That is the season that we didn't need. Like seriously, when do criminals would work with the FBI? It was a bit too sketchy for me sometimes and that's why I didn't like it. We could easily have lived without, but I'm still happy the show have continued. Even though I didn't like it overall it was ok because it still kept entertained and it was good sometimes.
      • Apr 01, 2021
        (series-excluding season 5) Highly binge-able, great writing, and characters that you will enjoy. If you're thinking how many times can a guy break out of prison just watch this ish it's nuts. Fun ride.
      • Jun 06, 2020
        I thought it was great from an entertainment standpoint. I do feel they made it unnecessarily long though. After about 12 episodes, I thought it could have been ended and the series was made longer for the sake of making it longer. I also feel this season would have been a good ending point, but we shall see how Season 5 and the movie is.
      • May 22, 2020
        Certainly not as good as seasons 1 and 2, but it was good nonetheless.
      • May 20, 2020
        Although without jailbreak but to be fair, I still think this is the TV series worth watching as it will have you guessing what will happened until you finished the series. Still very happy with what I am getting thus far - I am on the last episode of the season during this review.
