Prison Break: John Doe
I have to admit that when I first heard about the concept for this show, I was excited about the program, but I was worried about whether or not you could really get more than one season out of breaking out of prison. Then when they ended the first season with the actual prison break, I thought "I'm not sure how much more you can get out of this. The road has got to be running out soon." Well let me say that happily I was wrong. Even after the winter break, this show has kept going and going and without getting to the point where it seemed contrived.
The season opener was as strong as ever. Last season ended with Agent Kellerman shooting Mahone to rescue Scofield and his brother. Kellerman shot Mahone. Mahone survived. Mr. Kim threatened Mahone's family and now Mahone is on the warpath as well. It seems that all the forces in the world are lining up against the President and her grand conspiracy. It will be fun to see how the writers keep this going. Even with all they have done so far, I'm still trying to figure out how you get a third season oput of this...
