	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"A strong cast led by Wentworth Miller (...) It needs to begin peeling away the layers more quickly"	NEU
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"For all its constraints, the series is as suspenseful and addictive as '24' or Showtime's 'Sleeper Cell'."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"If the show can stay as gripping as its premiere, though, it will be a welcome new prime-time puzzle"	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"'Prison Break' doesn't disappoint (...) I've seen the first three hours of 'Prison Break'. Each one flew by quickly, and I'm quite keen to see the fourth."	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"It works as a two-hour premiere special, one that grabs your attention from its first scene to its startling cliffhanger ending (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"High concept TV doesn't get more fun than 'Prison Break' (...) It surely cannot get more nail-bitingly clever than this (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Plots don't come any dafter than this – 'Prison Break' is trash genius and the tension leaves me literally squawking with stress"	POS
