- TriviaThe character of Charles Westmorland/D.B. Cooper is based on an actual person (D.B. Cooper) who, in 1971, after hijacking an airliner, extorted $200,000 from its owner, Northwest Orient, and leaped off the airborne plane with 21 pounds of $20 bills strapped to his body. He was never found. The theory is that he was killed because his parachute didn't deploy.
- GoofsMost of the main characters committed crimes in different states. (T-Bag in Arkansas, Fernando in New York, etc.) However, they are in a state prison in Chicago, not a federal prison.

For Me - The Most Addictive TV Show Ever!
My Rating: 9/10
Watching 'Prison Break' is the most addictive TV experience I've ever had, even more so than Game Of Thrones or Breaking Bad - Lost definitely came close but still Prison Break blows everything out of the water.
Truly, the showrunners have done an outstanding job creating and executing this series. This is one of the few shows whose every season is great and is consistent in quality. I truly cared for all the characters in the show, even the bad guys.
I have yet to come across a TV show which is this engaging and this addictive. Please, please let me know if there is anything out there which matches Prison Break. This is the show I judge other shows by and in certain ways nothing has ever come close...yet.
