Premise: A structural engineer enters prison to break his death row brother out

It is accused of being Oz lite.
Despite being brothers, Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows don't have the same last name.
The show is full of plot holes.
Robin Tunney's character rarely changes expression.
It employs many prison movie stereotypes (the mobster, the man with a pet, the wise warden).
It was banned from 13 prisons.
They split the first season with a fall finale.

The show has drawn favorable comparisons to 24.
It its first year it got 2 Golden Globes nominations.
Even if you don't ignore the plot holes that show is very exciting.
