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.
Nate Goetz **Spoiler Alert** The concept of this show is really intriguing; however, It can be ungodly painful to watch. It's not the prisons, conditions or subject matter that bothers me, it's the host. This idiotic journalist is either very naive or utterly stupid, probably both. He is a horrible journalist. He asks the most basic, idiotic questions and he paraphrases most responses.PAUL: "Oh... your daughter died when you were in prison?" Inmate: (Lady withdrawn and tearful) "yes" PAUL: "How Did that Make You Feel?" Lady: "Sad" Paul: "So... you're saying you that were sad?" _______________________________________________________ Polish Inmate: "We get strip searched when we go back to our cell".Paul: "You mean to tell me, that you get strip searched EVERY time?" Polish Inmate: "Yes" Paul: "I can't believe it".Paul: "So... People try to smuggle stuff into prison?" It's decent to watch, but it's not really binge worthy. Perhaps better in small doses.
