The show is surprisingly better than I thought for the simple fact that, I wasn't sure how mean seasons they thought they were thinking it would go because in my head I'm like okay, how many times are they going to break out? Or how long would it take to actually break out? The only actor I had a problem was with Michael because he was to naive and his demeanor wasn't edgy enough. The only he makes it through situations is because he has it planned out. But good show..

It had its pros and cons, but for the most part it was enjoyable to watch. The premise of the tattoo gave them many liberties to work out any crisis that enveloped, and it was always interesting to see how they would solve each one they faced.
