Wat hebben TV series zoals 24, Lost, Dexter, Heroes en Prision Break met elkaar gemeen? Namelijk dat ze allemaal op hun best waren met het eerste seizoen en daarna inkakten. Ik ben niet de enige met deze mening, want de website Unreality heeft deze lijst gemaakt met shows die briljant begonnen en daarna één grote puinhoop werden.

Prison Break has to be the most obvious show to mention on the list here, because it simply was never meant to run for more than one season, hence its goddamn title. The first season of the show was very smart, with Michael Scoffield's plan to escape riveting to watch at every turn.

But once they escaped and Prison Break became Prison Broke, the show ceased to be anything remotely close to what it was, and it was relegated to shelving Scoffield's brilliant plotting abilities, only bringing it out on rare occasions to fight some evil corporation that never did end up making any sense.
