Negative Positive
Title: Excellent new show with some "old friends"
Review: "Breakout Kings" is in its first season on A&E and definitely has the potential to run for several more seasons. The basic premise of the show is that there are a set of convicts with special skills (con-artist, great memory, great fighter, etc.) who are recruited by the Federal Marshall's system to track and bring back to jail escapees. If the are able to bring back an escapee, they get a month shaved off of their current sentence and for participating at all, they move to a minimum security lockup. The show is a great combination of action and humor that feels real but isn't as gory as something you might see on Showtime or HBO. Avid watchers of The Wire will recognize one of the detectives from that excellent show. A great cast of characters. If you were a big Prison Break fan, you don't want to miss Episode 3 (hint: T-Bag). Very worthwhile series.
