Beecher and Said.įrom what I have seen, Prison Break is realistic as far as the racial stuff in prison goes. On Oz, every now and then two characters of different races would be pals. On a plus side: It is realistic as far as racial stuff goes. I mean, I know Oz had some insane things go on that were not always realistic but at least they waited four years to put unrealistic things in it.Īnd on Prison Break, how the heck could a guy have a tattoo of the map of the whole prison on his back? I would have liked this show back in the day but Oz spoiled me so now anytime I see a TV show or movie about prison, I expect it do be as gritty and realistic as Oz. I was pretty bored with it when I first saw it and have not watched it since. Lots of shady characters and a great plotline that feels very '24-ish' (probably why i love this show) The guy going to rescue his brother is supposed to be an engineer who had a hand in the design of the prison so he knows all the ins & outs of said prison, etc. New FOX drama thriller TV show featuring Dominic Purcell & Wentworth Miller about a guy who purposely gets himself incarcerated into the same prison as his brother (who is a death-row inmate) to bust him out (he's seemingly innocent and victim of a frame).
