Break Out Kings Season One Review

I watched Prison Break, I adored most of the four seasons it was on. Michael Scofield was a genius, but this wasn’t Prison Break, which let’s be honest that show more than ran its course and had become all too predictable, and the premise of Breakout Kings sounded all too close. So what’s a girl with an already overfully viewing schedule to do? Wait for the DVDs. Season one has finally arrived on DVD.

A rag tag group of criminals are brought together to catch other criminals and work off their sentences. Hmmm, I believe I’ve heard of this premise before. It’s very White Collar, but on a large scale, and just as good.

And if you love the sneaky, backstabbing, one handed T-Bag from Prison Break, well, Robert Knepper's Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell shows up in episode three. So Breakout Kings is very much in the Prison Break world. I’m not huge into crime drama’s but this one is definitely worth my time. The cast is very fluid, they have a great chemistry, and the storylines are very intriguing and smartly written.

Breakout Kings Season 1 is loaded with exclusive special features including deleted and extended scenes and several must see featurettes including  Good Cons, Bad Cons,Bullpin Sessions, and spotlight on Prison Break cross-over character T:Bag Dealt a Bad Hand. In fact, the T-Bag featurette may be the best one on there, or I may just have a softspot for the crazy slimeball.

 “BREAKOUT KINGS,” comes to DVD on March 13 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Don’t miss the chance to catch up on the gripping suspense, meet the provocative characters and experience the non-stop action that helped “BREAKOUT KINGS” Season 1, post record ratings for an original drama series on A&E.
