"it is gratifying to see Prison Break go out as solidly as it came in."

Warning: Spoilers
I thought it would be impossible for Prison Break to ever match the greatness of its first season, and I was unexpectedly proved wrong by the last two episodes of the series.

The Final Break is a self contained story that both Prison Break fans and first time viewers will enjoy. The story immediately dives into a scenario where all odds are against Sara and Michael.

Although, a lot of what happens in The Final Break is very ridiculous and mostly likely will never happen it's still the same ridiculousness the show is based on and that is why we love it.

Sara is charged with murder and ends up placed in a prison because the jail is full. The guards know what Sara did back in Fox River so of course they beat her up and make things more difficult for her. A bounty is set on Sara by the General to get back at Michael. And if that's not enough Sara has to deal with a gang of women in the prison as well as Gretchen who is after the bounty as well.

Knowing that Sara's chance of surviving decreases with every minute, Michael has to get her out of prison as fast as possible. Not only is the pressure on Michael to breakout Sara faster than any other breakout, but also the government is watching his every step.

This really could not get more intense! The end is very bittersweet. Michael makes the ultimate sacrifice and leaves a video for Lincoln and Sara. He ends up sacrificing himself to free the people he loves.

Now that's what I call a great freaking ending to a series! Although this really could have been a whole series in itself, I'm glad it was done in just two episodes. I don't remember the last time I was kept on the edge of my seat for an entire episode or even two! Bravo to the writers/creators/producer of Prison Break! And thank you for ending the show as solidly as it started!
