Prison Break, one of the finest broadcast teevee shows to ever grace a screen, had its series finale episode Friday night.
I’ll not do any buzzkill recaps, in case it’s still on your DVR, but the finale was awesome. After four seasons of nail-biting, sitting on the edge of the chair drama, the finale wrapped it all up and put a bow on it. No speculation, no letdown; it’s over. Done. Fini. I’ll say only that this is the only episode in which MLB dabbed her eyes with a Kleenex. I have to admit I blinked pretty fast, and didn’t talk much, to avoid choking up.
Four seasons; a good run of an exciting show. Wrapped up right. Our weekly teevee fare won’t be the same without it, but in the same way that a good 8 ounce steak is more satisfying than a whole pound of greasy hamburger, we’re happy.
I ordered the DVD of season 4 from Amazon; we already had the rest of them. This is a series we’ll revisit later.
