I don't think y'all have an idea of the seething rage I felt when I rewatched season 4. For context, I watched Prison Break back in 2024. I do distinctly remember that I loved it so much I was binge watching it for days on end. So I decided to watch it again. By the time I am writing this, I have finished season 4 about 2-3 hours ago. When I first watched season 4, it was ass. But when I rewatched It, it's even more ass. Why?
Okay, let me be clear. The first half of season 4 was good. They were coming up with creative ways to get each card and it was overall pretty fun. Then... The moment Don Self's bitch-ass betrayed them, everything went to hell. The second half was literally just circles. Everything going in circles. Get Scylla, get betrayed, lose it again, find another way to get it. And that's it. That's literally the entirety of season 4. The writers literally ran out of ideas so they just wrote one episode and repeated it the entire second half. Don't even get me started on the issues such as:
- overwhelming amount of plot armor
- Linc for the second half was just a dumbass brute and gets hostile over nothing. It became corny pretty quickly
- characters get introduced out of nowhere with no personality just to die. Like VS for example.
- characters keep going in circles
There's literally no reason why season 4 should be this long. Now, I do know that back in the 2000s Fox demanded the TV show to be stretched to 22 episodes, but it still doesn't change the fact that it sucks.
This season is literally ass-juice. Straight dumpster fire. There's nothing fun about it. At least for the second half. I literally was just watching the second half just to watch it and be done with it. I legit put it in 2x speed just to get through it. Anyways, I just had to rant. Mods, please don't cook me for cussing. Anyways, tell me what y'all think
