We already know what is going to happen, so unless there are to be any ret-con (retroactive continuity) changes, any happenings in this show were a forgone conclusion. The ending of the series in season four was such a massive letdown that this new story, which happens in between the final occurrences of the show and the "fast-forward a few years later" closing, is a bit anti-climactic. The dead rose again, police would collar the escapees only when convenient for the show, never when they were just a step away from completing a scheme, it just got lame. For three seasons, before the show got canceled, the amount of drama per episode suffered a steady decline, while the new dramatic issues grew more and more intense, to the point that it was difficult to still care. What began as a cool prison drama loaded with twist after twist soon became reliant on some increasingly dramatic loops that quickly became too much to take seriously. It might have been for the best if 'Prison Break' had been canceled after its first season.
