Watch the first season.
Don't bother with the rest.
Unironically this, the first season is great. The rest is fricking stupid.
>If you are convicted of federal bank robbery in California, you face up to 20 years in state prison. If you are found guilty of felony bank robbery, you may face the following penalties: Up to 20 years in federal prison.
He LITERALLY asks the judge to serve his sentence in the same jail as his brother on account of having no priors.
Did you even watch the show?
Would that actually fly?
Yes
Frick no it wouldn’t. In California they actively try and keep family members off of the same yards, I only knew two brothers who were locked up with family but knew dozens that had family locked up in state as well. Only reason they let them stay on the same yard is because they had been there as roommates for over 5 years so if they were trying to kill each other probably would have already.
>t. Did time from 2013-2020 for beating up a chomo. Been serving time in REAL prison (aka Cinemaphile) from 2009-2013 and now a second sentence from 2020 until now though
Lmfao the Albanian poster got deleted. Thanks Jannies, today you guys were OK. I forgive you for banning me for posting an on topic thread now. Also, is the show worth watching, or is it omegagay. Keep in mind I am this poster
So I don’t enjoy most prison content because it is very different from reality
>robs a bank (federal crime)
Shouldn't it be an antisemitic hate crime?
why are american prisons so OTT brutal?
my euro country they're mafia-controlled so little or no 'drama' and no gay shit like and its all very civil ftmp
What country? In my country (Norway), an average prison cell looks like this.
Aw lucky killers
They are indeed lucky. Some prisoners unironically have better living condition than the poorest people in the country. And yes, Norway has poor people too.
That's just refugee housing at this point. All it costs them is ruining some Norwegian native's life beforehand, and then you're living large. Good deal. And good deal for you, too: after your entire family is raped and beheaded, then you can visit the perp and go for a walk in the woods hand in hand while his drycleaning is being done, maybe Netflix and cuddle after in his cell.
minorities
Racial diversity unironically. Prisons are a great microcosm of human behavior. People absolutely self-segregate under stress
>Michael's whole plan hinges on his cellmate being trustworthy
What would have happened if he's wasn't paired with top bro Sucre but, say, Tweener?
>right of
stupid ESL
>14 years old
>Utorrent
>Spend all afternoon Playing Zelda Wind Waker
>End up the day watching an episode of Lost, Prison Break, Heroes, Veronica Mars, Naruto
I want to go back
>New episodes of Lost, 24, Prison Break and Heroes every week
We didn't realize how good we had it.
yeah, man, I still remember the names of all those motherfrickers. Abruzzi, T-Bag, Sucre, Scoldfield, Jack Shepherd, Kate, Sawyer, John Lock, Peter Petrelli, Sylar... and the seasons used to have 22~24 episodes, so they lasted almost the entire school year. Now, everything gets forgotten one week after its released
I really miss long seasons, when you could really get invested in a series over time. Now you get 8-10 episodes ever 2-3 years and you've pretty much forgotten all about it by the time another season airs, if you even get one. You don't even get time to really know the characters before the season is over.
I can name every main character from those shows. Meanwhile, I can't remember a single character name from a more recent show like Westworld.
I loved it as a kid, but it doesn't hold up at all. It's fricking moronic.
My headcanon is he actually went to jail to get his ass fricked. He could just cry rape and pretend he didn't want it.
How could a university nerd like Michael Scoldfield be so good at treating with minorities and italians?
Grew up in the streets of Chicago
>core component of my 5D plan is seducing the lady doctor she leaves the door open
cringe
So if you’re poor and homeless just rob a bank and have shelter and free food for 20 years? Kino
Isnt federal prison far nicer than state prisons?
Yeah, I've been there. It's like Greece, but without all the tourists. Friendly people, god tier nature and cheap as frick.
The show went downhill around season 10
I dropped it here. It was a bit too much.
Season 25 was just ridiculous
I prefer the season 0 prequel when they revealed that the scoldfield bloodline were vampires all along
how quickly would this backfire in a well written show?
>Wentworth Miller wrote the script for a Park Chan-wook movie
I dunno why, but this just blows my mind.

>Season 1: pure kino
>Season 2: also pretty good, introduces chad Mahone. shouldve ended on a good note here
>Season 3&4: the shameless milking begins.
>Season 5: desperately bringing back a dead show after 8 years. Pure creative bankruptcy
>agree on 1 and 2
>season 3: dumb fun
>season 4: first half is not bad, has some fun episodes, but the second half is just pure nonsense
>season 5: oh shit homies what the frick are you doing
I was reluctant about the story going back to another prison setting at first but looking back, I still found it entertaining. Turning the show into a wannabe 24 by s4 was a strange departure but they ran out of ideas and they cant have an entire season of them on the run again. I dont get why they thought bringing him back to life was a good idea after they scoldfield such a certain definitive death at the end of s4, shit was shameless
