Prison Break

Prison Break is a new drama out on Fox this fall with an intriguing concept. A man breaks into prison, in order to break his brother out. The pilot contains a cool setup sequence and introduces the major players in this, and we know the show will have a finite timeline (like 24 or something) since the man being broken out of prison is on death row.

I've never seen any work by Wentworth Miller before, but he plays Michael, who is convinced that his brother (played by Dominic Purcell, whom we know from "John Doe" and Blade: Trinity) is innocent of his crime and thus needs to be broken out. Basically, though, the show is all about Michael, and it rocks. I haven't had an hour of television fly by so fast in a long time.

There's a raving review over at thefutoncritic, that goes into more detail, but I'm definitely looking forward to the start of this season.
There is some hilarious symbolism at the end of the episode, which kind of fails in my opinion, but in general the show moves at a quick pace and you can sense that Michael has calculated his every move, and it keeps you guessing.
On top of all this, there are hints of a conspiracy working to kill off John Doe, and this brings an added component of outside influence working against Michael who's on the inside.

So, uh. Watch it. and stuff.
