I write this article with a very heavy heart. I just finished my favorite series on Netflix; I completed all four seasons of the show Prison Break on Netflix. I now have no idea what I'm going to do at 7 a.m. when none of my friends are awake but I'm a morning person, on my rare days off, or when I'm back from work in the evening and don't want to talk to anyone. I wanted to share a few kind words about one of my favorite TV shows.
Prison Break is not a new series by any means; it actually first aired in 2005. You may be wondering why I'm barely finishing a show made eleven years ago. I truthfully had never heard of the show until my ex-boyfriend showed it to me last year. We broke up shortly after starting the series together, but I was able to watch the first two seasons of the show on his Netflix account undetected.
I was determined to find out what happened in the life of Michael Scoffield. I concluded the show, free of unwanted commentary, in my home with my cats. I cannot begin to explain how interesting and addicting this show is. It's like a web in the sense that every character is connected in some way and everything stems off each other. It takes a lot for me to religiously keep up with a TV show, but I became completely enthralled in the series and felt the closest thing to emotionally invested in something since I got my second cat. Prison Break became my favorite past time for the last few weeks and I'm honestly not ready to let it go.
It is for these reasons that I'm writing this obituary. Rest easy Prison Break. I will miss the exasperated sighs followed by "AGAIN?!" by my friends. I will miss laughing at the question, "Are you sure you want to keep watching Prison Break?" that flashes across my screen every few episodes. (That's definitely a rhetorical question- of course I want to keep watching). I will even miss screaming at my TV when a main character gets killed off. That being said, can someone please suggest a new series for me to start?
