Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
artemisjackno In season 1 episode 1, Paul (the host) was invited to "sit in" on an inmate's meeting with a judge. Not only did the host interrupt that meeting, by asking both parties questions instead of waiting until the end, but he completely undermined the inmate in front of the judge. The host asked way too many probing questions into the lives of these inmates, and according to Raphael Rowe, season 2's host, that's a rookie (and costly) mistake. Paul's lucky he had cameras with him, or else he would've been screwed for sure!
mf-03175 The first season was honestly enjoyable, not the best prison show on TV but it was cool to see just how prison conditions are across the globe...... but the host of the second season... I've never actually turned a show off in such frustration, like I actually wanted to watch it, but this guys voice is off the charts annoying, I have English friends.. none of them sound this dramatic and drawn out. It honestly ruined the show for me, If your in the mood for a prison show just watch lockout for one episode and then get bored because that's what prison is above all.. boring.
beth_oliver Why did they change host after like 2 episodes and also he isn't a very good guy, they had a lot of incriminating evidence against him he only got out because one of the guys who confessed got bribed into giving the other 2 up who was involved
danielstricker I liked watching the show. Inspite of the show host.I don't know who he is but I guess I'll never know - and that's a good thing.It's crazily overacted: „I have to undress? Completely? Here? - Oh that was tough. I know now who's boss!!". That's about the way each episode starts.What a pussy!And always stressing how verrrrry dangerous it is to sleep, talk, breathe here. But when you watch the show, all you think is: Okay, I got it, you're a pussy.Nevertheless he was still a charming guy and it delivers some good insights. And in spite of the horribly bad questions à la „Do you like it here? Why not?" it's still interesting to see how the prisoners talk and look.
