all five horizons

This weekend, we finally got round to watching the first season of Prison Break which we borrowed from our friends. I don’t know why I never got into this which it aired the first time round but for some reason, this one managed to pass me by. We watched the entire season in four days and now we are hooked! The final couple of episodes were so nerve-wracking, we were literally sweating it out on the edges of our respective seats. For those of you who don’t know, the basic premise revolves around a man who has been convicted of a murder he did not commit and has been sentence to death (played by Dominic Purcell a.k.a Drake in Blade plus he was in Heartbreak High!!) and his super-intelligent engineer brother (played by Wentworth Miller) who purposely gets himself banged up so he can break them both out.

He helped design the prison and as such, he knows it pretty well. He also got the blueprints tattooed all over as an aide-memoire. In order to carry out his plan, he has to procure various items and favours meaning he ends up with a motley crew of fellow-escapee wannabes plus the pretty doctor for whom he inevitably develops feelings. The ending of the season was a humdinger of a cliffhanger (Ricardo was not impressed!) so now we have to wait until we can get hold of the second season DVDs to carry on our viewing pleasure.  And it is a pleasure, believe me.  I mean Wentworth Miller isn’t about to get himself a Man Oscar but he sure does have that intense stare thang down.
