One of my favorite shows!

I truly love, adore, and look up to Wentworth Miller so very much. He is a very talented actor and does an astonishing job of getting into character. Also, the astounding brotherly chemistry between him and Dominic Percell is so convincing and believable and I just love seeing them working together. That chemistry also got me hooked on the show Prison break and it is now also one of my favorite shows as well. If you have not seen it, I really recommend it to everyone. He plays Micheal Scofield and Dom plays his brother, Lincoln Burrows. It has an IMDb rating of eight point three out of ten and a sixty to seventy-nine percent average score on Rotten Tomatoes. Also, Ninety-five percent of people that voted on google liked it. I am fifteen years old and am almost finished with the fourth season and it is one of my favorite shows. You can watch it on Hulu. It has four seasons and a fifth revival season. And Dominic Percell (Lincoln Burrows) even hinted that there might eventually be a sixth season on Instagram but sadly deleted the post. The description for the first season - as copied off of IMDb - is included below; Due to a political conspiracy, an innocent man is sent to death row and his only hope is his brother, who makes it his mission to deliberately get himself sent to the same prison in order to break the both of them out, from the inside. And from Rotten Tomatoes: A mechanical engineer gets himself incarcerated so he can spring his death-row brother (framed for killing the vice-president's brother) in this taut drama that's too intense for younger children. And off of Google: Michael Scofield is a desperate man in a desperate situation. His brother, Lincoln Burrows, was convicted of a crime he didn't commit and put on Death Row. Michael holds up a bank to get himself incarcerated alongside his brother in Fox River State Penitentiary, then sets in motion a series of elaborate plans to break Lincoln out and prove his innocence. Once out of jail, their perils aren't over -- the brothers must flee to escape recapture and battle an intricate political conspiracy that puts everyone's life at risk. This show has mild profanity and violence and moderate drinking and smoking. It has some revealing and suggestive scenes but has no real sex scenes. Overall, I think it is an amazing show and okay for even some mature younger-ish children under supervision, though probably none under, like, seven.

This is by far my favourite show! If the child can handle violence then this show is acceptable for ages 12 and up. This show contains no sex scenes and is pure entertainment! It is for sure a family favourite in my household.

Great series, very dark

involves heavy violence (such as stabbing and shooting), but nothing unexpected from a prison drama. rape is implied/mentioned but never shown. not for the faint of heart but genius in my opinion

Great Show

I got given prison break when I was 9 years old and I still love it to this day. Me and my dad watch it sometimes when we want to. My opinion is your young viewers are responsible to watch it by themselves. And Common sense saying it has alot of sex but it is has none. Hope your day is good.

Prison Break

Great series with a lot of action. There is a considerable amount of violence and threat, but that is pretty much it in that department. I agree with the 15 rating on UK Netflix, but I think that any one over 12 could watch this.
