Prison Break: Series Premiere

Prison Break: Pilot
We meet Michael Scofield at a tattoo parlor with an unseen masterpiece on his body. Next he’s at a bank trying to make an illegal withdrawal. He pleads no contest at the subsequent trial and gets sentenced to five years at Fox River State Penn. He’s in prison to help him and his brother escape.
His brother, Lincoln Burrows, is on death row because he allegedly killed the vice-president’s brother. There is a conspiracy afoot.
On his records we see he has Type I diabetes. We find out soon enough he really doesn't have it and needs an insulin blocker from the outside. He's just using the diabetes to gain access to the doctor's office for the escape.
In prison D.B. Cooper is rumored to be there and that will be Scofield’s money man. Scofield is a structural engineer and was double-secret-sub-contracted to overhaul the prison. His nephew is upset and gets caught with 2lbs of marijuana.
Robin Tunney plays a lawyer ex who goes back and forth with her faith in Burrows. A bishop who would not help the Secret Service gets shot in the head.
The big finale shows Scoflied’s tattoo a huge full upper body tattoo that depicts a demon fighting an angel. He reveals to his brother that the tattoo contains a hidden blueprint of the prison.

Prison Break: Allen
3 days in prison and Scofield is not anyone’s best friend. Scofield needs to get a screw loose and gets threatened. There is also a black vs. white riot about to happen.
Scofield’s cellmate is a Spanish guy who is insecure with his relationship with his new fiancée.
During the riot Scofield gets the screw back from an enemy and is mistakenly accused of killing another inmate. We see him use the screw to open up the toilet.
A group of mafia guys need a person in witness protection dead and Scofield knows where he is, but won’t tell unless the mafia guy helps him. The mafia guy then takes and threatens to cut off Scoflied’s toes, he still refuses to talk and we hear the chopping of the bolt cutters as we fade to black.

The show is interesting not extraordinary like 24 or Oz. I’ll keep on watching for now.
