After discovering that the Vice President’s brother was alive, her revelation of the truth was short lived to say the least. Right in opening episode, Veronica who spent all of season one trying to clear Lincoln Burrows name was shot and killed by the dreaded Company. What season 2 did that many never expected was its willingness to kill off characters left, right and center. The price of that secret however is forcing Mahone to hunt and kill each of the Fox River Eight. We later learned that Mahone’s past involved him wrongfully killing a man, resulting in a personal burden that was helped hidden away by the Company. Throughout the show, we see Mahone taking medication to keep himself focused on the hunt for the Fox River Eight. Not to mention the character was incredibly layered as well. Everything from his smarts to his attention to detail, Mahone was on Scofield’s tail throughout the entire season making for some amazing got-you moments. Mahone however was the perfect “villain” as he is a mirror image of Scofield. Looking back on season one, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) never truly had an antagonist, unless you count the prison itself as his antagonist. In the four seasons of the show, no introduction to a character was better done than that of FBI agent Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) in season two. Now one of the best things, Prison Break would always do is introduce new and compelling characters. As literally the entire season revolved around our group of inmates all trying to leave the country.

With the prison element completely stripped away, the show reinvented itself in a way by almost becoming a TV show rendition of the film The Fugitive. For a show that’s named Prison Break, the majority of season 2 saw itself with no place to break out from as our escaped convicts were on the run.
