Prison Break
Michael Scofield commits a robbery. He seems delighted to be caught and sent to prison. He enters Fox River, a notorious prison. There he meets his brother, Lincoln Burrows, who is on death row for the alleged murder of the Vice President of the United States. Lincoln is surprised to run into his brother. But Michael had it all planned. He wants to escape from prison with him. This little genius has the prison layout tattooed all over his body, along with a lot of information that will help him complete his plan. Michael then starts to befriend some prisoners to help him escape. There are Sucre and Abruzzi, one of them is desperate to find his future wife, and the other would like to take over his mafia family. Each wants to get involved in exchange for goodwill.
Michael will be slowed down by Bellick, the head of the prison guards, by T-Bag, a highly dangerous and respected prisoner.
Michael falls for the prison doctor, Sara Tancredi.
Attorney Veronica Donovan is a childhood friend of both brothers and decides to take over Lincoln's case. This is not to the liking of Kellerman, a secret agent who wants to slow Donovan down.
The escape is only the beginning of the brothers' misadventures.
If you are looking for a TV series that combines drama, comedy, and crime genres while touching on important social issues, look no further than 'Orange Is the New Black'. Based on Piper Kerman's memoir of her time spent in a minimum-security women's prison, this American Netflix original series is not only captivating but also thought-provoking.
The story revolves around Piper Chapman, portrayed by Taylor Schilling. She is a public relations executive who is sentenced to spend time in prison due to her association with a drug runner 10 years prior. The narrative explores how she navigates life behind bars while making friends with many eccentric and unexpected people she meets along the way. From Kate Mulgrew's Red Reznikov to Uzo Aduba's unforgettable Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren, each character brings their unique personality and backstory to the mix, adding depth to this engrossing series.
What sets 'Orange Is the New Black' apart from other shows is its approach towards storytelling. It often includes flashbacks providing an insight into different characters' backgrounds and experiences. These narratives serve as building blocks for understanding their behaviors within the confining walls of the prison. Moreover, it addresses various themes such as friendship, power dynamics, social issues like racial discrimination and LGBTQ+ representation within its episodes.
