![]() But by seasons 3 and 4, we had more prison breaks than seemed plausible, and it felt like the writers were just as trapped as the characters, unable to escape the constraints of their initial premise. Then came season 2, which was decent, albeit with less excitement. The plot was fresh, the suspense was so palpable our teeth hurt, and the characters were engaging. Who can forget the thrill and suspense of Prison Break's first season? With an impressive 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, viewers watched in awe as Michael Scofield enacted his meticulously planned prison escape. The show felt like it was stuck in a Seattle rainstorm, unable to move forward for the entirety of its four seasons. ![]() ![]() But then season 2 came along, and instead of providing the much-anticipated closure, it drew out the same murder case. The first season set up an engaging mystery around the murder of a local girl, building a moody, atmospheric whodunit that had viewers on the edge of their seats, reflected by its 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Next on our hit list is The Killing, a U.S. By season 4, the original allure had worn off, and the series felt like a well-trodden path with no new tricks in its book. However, after a satisfying first season, the show fell into a repetitive cycle: Hannah falls for a client, faces conflict, and resets. It was witty, salacious, and unapologetically honest, earning a Rotten Tomatoes audience rating of 62%. The story of Hannah Baxter, who leads a double life as an ordinary girlfriend and a call girl, offered a unique perspective. This British series, based on the blog and books by former high-class escort Belle de Jour, started out fresh and provocative. In the end, the viewers might've wished they were trapped under a dome, cut off from the signal transmitting this show.Ģ.

(I’d say not telling Hannah he was getting married is a pretty big deal.) And she can’t handle it. ![]() At the same time, she began to realize that her friendship with Ben has a pleasure/pain dynamic that she no longer controls: She’s accustomed to being the one hurting him by keeping secrets now he’s holding back on her. ![]() In this case, one of Hannah’s regulars requested the S&M experience, so she learned how to give it him. In her mind, never the twain shall meet, but we’ve come to realize that in actuality, they usually mirror each other.
