This show just started on Monday... and it has the potential to be a great show. The storyline centers around a man convicted of murder who is in prison and will be put to death in 30 days. His brother happens to have worked on renovating the prison and has extensive knowledge of the layout along with full blueprints of the facility. He creates an elaborite escape plan (which we don't know the details of yet) and then stages an armed robbery of a bank so he can be sent to prison to break his brother out.

It has the standard, required, prison gangs, fights, violence, etc. However the cool part of the episodes are how you learn a little bit more about how the escape will work and actually watch it slowly unfold. You are teased with a new piece of information during the episode and you try to figure out what he is going to do with the item or information he wants. By the end of the episode you find out.

The first two episodes were on Monday but they will be running an encore on Thursday night. This is definitely one for Tivo!
