Love how Patricia is not afraid to play these type of roles! Everyone was great!! Loved it!!

Patricia Arquette's portrayal of Joyce "Tilly" Mitchell is incredible. She has the dumpy, frumpy woe is me Joyce down to can't wait for part 4!

Del Torro deserves an Oscar for his role.

The last episode, describing the post escape period, was excellent acting by Del Torro. Especially the time he was acting drunk was so extreme good acting...

"Dont tell Benico del Toro is too cool.

Ben Stiller has come a long way in his career from his comical roles to directing such an intense drama! Wonderful film making that truly captures the human element. Great series, great cast. Can’t wait for the next episodes.

This is a GREAT series. Ben Stiller has done a very well thought out production here with top notch actors - incredible !

[heathercampbell]

Patricia Arquette is stellar in this series. Prison breaks are always a good story.

I literally forgot I was watching actors. This was totally riveting.

Who played Tilly's husband? He and Patricia Arquette's makeover and acting was amazing! They look just like the characters they portray.

[annrodriguez]

I just binged the whole series. I was enthralled by the story and performances❤

[misssjustice]

They all should have won Emmy's! This was sooo good!

[adamspeckert]

Patricia was incredible. Benicio and Dano were also amazing.

[robocathy]

I binge watch every week on the show...lol! It's so intense and Arquette, Del Toro and Dano are absolutely incredible. Great directing, Ben Stiller, and this story needed to be told! 👍❤🤯😮

I am so honored to have a small small part in episode #5. I write true prison crime and tell true prison crime stories on my youtube channel. This story needed to be told and what a great job Director Ben Stiller and crew has done. Thank you for investigating the facts of this story before bringing it to light!

I love all 3 of these actors and they did a phenomenal job portraying the real life characters BUT Paul Dano was by far my favorite. He did Sweat so great and I knew watching him in Taking Lives he was going to be huge....HUGE.

[amistenson]

Ben Stiller did an AMAZING job with this mini series!! Patricia Arquette, Eric Lange, Paul Dano and Benicio del Toro did amazing in their roles. Eric Lange and Patricia Arquette were phenomenal! They really became the people they were portraying!! Amazing all around!! I can see and feel all the hard work that went into this! 👏👏👏👏

[joycejohnson]

Paul Dano did a G R E A T job! I agree with him. Mr. Sweat should be given the opportunity to use his engineering/mechanical skills via a work program. What a waste for this guy to be in solitary confinement. Could pay the state back faster if he could work...

[latvguy]

This is a really good series. At first it seemed a little slow, but now I'm loving the slow build to the inevitable. The performances are amazing. In particular, Patricia Arquette.

[cindynewjersey]

Benecio, an incredible actor! They all killed it but BDT is the man, the myth, the legend....and the most gorgeous man period🔥❤️🔥❤️

Everybody came with their A game on this show btw. Eric Lange deserves so much credit too.
