Television Prison Break Revival (don't open if you've not seen it before)

How would this work? Michael Schofield died. (I haven't clicked the link).
Season 1 was fun, then it was awful.
Oh yes 
But... He died at the end?
God no.
Did we see him die? Can't remember and I can't be arsed to watch Prison Break's ending on Youtube. I think everyone just visited his grave at the end and that was that.
Still though, I wouldn't say no to more Gretchen Morgan.
They could probably do a prequel. I just hope we get to see Robert Knepper act as T-Bag again - that alone justifies another go
That would make sense, tell us what the others were up to before fox river.
Yeah, they just visited the grave and that was it.
Then how did Sarah get out of the building?
After the S4 finale (with the grave), they did a 2 parter show where they showed how he died.
He electrocuted himself to free his brother and Sarah Tan Credi, iirc. Something like that. When he grabbed the live wires, it allowed Sarah to escape from where she was...something along those lines.
@Damien @dxadel
It got progressively worse after the first season and even got the Michael Rappaport slow death treatment for the final season, wrong idea to dig this up again.
2 was good too, the whole "on the run" element gave it another dimension. After that, it was pure garbage.
Season 1 - Good
Season 2 - Shit
Season 3 - Alright
Everything else - awful
Season 2 - Shit
Season 3 - Alright

1 was just fantastic. A few months ago, I watched the whole of season 1 again and it was immense. I pretend thats when it ended :P
Although season 2 wasnt bad when they introduced mahonne. Then it just got bad when they put them back in the prison (in fact season 3 was fun but if you think about it you can just remove it from the overall story and it wont matter) and then it got even worse with the company, his mum, etc.
The ending was bleh (the prison break final break movie was fun though).
Pretty much what @Uzz said.
This has to be a prequel or filling in the gaps I think.

It was a electronically locked door, only way for it to open was a manual power surge which sacrificed Michael and allowed Sara to escape

Nice to see Wentworth and Purcell are coming back to TV. First the Legends of Tomorrow, now this
Is she related to Henk Ten Cate?
The best way to think of this show is that it was cancelled after S1, and just pretend nothing after that ever happened.
The whole second prison in the desert of Panama or wherever, was quite possibly the worst thing ever written.

I think the worst writing was in S4, when it got all sci-fi. Who is the genius who decide to take that turn ?
I don't remember that bit; perhaps my brain doesn't want to admit it ever saw it.
The whole conspiracy angle with 'the company' was very stupid too.
Shame really, because season one was good.
Fixed
One season wonder for sure. Only saving grace in season 2 was Mahone who stole the show.
Try not to remember anything then.
I'd watch that!
You didnt like Sona? the corporate storyline was a bit of a bore but sona was pretty great imo.
First American show I properly got into. In fact the first show I used to download weekly, burn on a dvd and watch.
Like the rest have said. Season 1 was possibly the best season of any show. Season 2 was good, I liked Mahone. Then went seriously downhill.

Well, imagine if season 3 wasn't cut short by about ten episodes due to the TV industry strike (or such).
Their mother, lol!
I been trying to persuade my work colleague to watch this for a while. Today this conversation happened"
Colleague: "have you heard? Prison Break is being revived for a new season! Now I'm gonna finally see the old ones to get ready for it!"
Me: "Really? How's that gonna work? Michael's dead"
Colleague: "you fecking cnut"
Me: "Oh shit! So sorry man I forgot!"

On another note, I am fecking excited!! Loved PB!! All about Mahone motherfecker!
I watched this show recently. First season got to grate on me about 2/3rds way through but I persevered, liked the end. Second season was good, glad Sarah died, I liked her but good twist. 3rd season got on my tits, hated Lincoln by end of it, wanted the cnut back in jail. Final season, I got 6 episodes into it before I decided I hated them all, didn't care about any of the characters and fecked it off, wasted about 4 days of my life.
He died in the end I've just read. Zero fecks given.

I got so invested in the characters in season 1 that i ended up enjoying the whole thing, despite the storyline being so ridiculous.
Tweener, T-Bag, DB Cooper's 5 million... so many memories starting to come back.
ahhh what a tv show... that 1st season was something else.

What gaps? MS seemed to be a rather regular dude, probably quite boring in a way, LB was supposedly a rather stereotypical "good hearted, but got pulled into a bad life" thug and ST was some neglected rich kid who turned to drugs. None of that seems like it would yield anything particularly interesting. They could create a lot of conspiracy story stuff about the company and the mother but that wouldn't include the brothers as adults.
I think S1 was really good, but the show got worse with every following season. I still watched it to the end because I was kinda curious how the whole thing would play out, but I don't like the idea of a revival, they already milked the original story waaay more than they should have and I can't see it being any good.
I tried with this show, I really did... but it took a nosedive after S1; and the plotline became less and less believable.
Definitely wouldn't watch a revival.

Fantastic show. Would watch again and any revival!
They should make a completely different version of it, considering I'm pretty certain Michael died in the mini movie anyway.
Season 1 was 10/10 very intense throughout and some very good character development.
Season 2 was boss as well, I didn't like them killing Abruzzi off and they could have made the man hunt a bit better. Overall still very enjoyable and Agent Mahone was the best character on the show.
Rest of the seasons didn't even happen in my eyes, just a bad dream.
