Strong agree. I think Prison Break slowly goes off the rails with more spies and conspiracy. It's not out of nowhere given Lincoln's original crime is murdering the Vice President (allegedly), but it does eventually just get ridiculous.
I still like the later seasons for the characters, but it is wildly different from where they started.
The Vice President's brother!
It gets comical how the characters say that phrase so much instead of using his name, for audience benefit.
I appreciate each season changing things up with a different central conceit. As absurd as the Central American super prison and spy craft seasons were at least the show kept changing instead of spinning its wheels.
Ah right the brother! It's been too long.
And yeah, it got worse but it didn't get boring.
