      Season 1 – Breakout Kings

      2011 Crime Drama List
      41% 27 Reviews Tomatometer 68% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Tired of the bad guys running free, U.S. Marshals Charlie Duchamp and Ray Zancanelli devise an unconventional approach to catching fugitives. They employ the experience and know-how of former fugitives Lloyd Lowery, Shea Daniels and Erica Reed, a special task force comprised of the three most elusive convicts Ray ever captured. It's a dicey partnership -- one side of the law shaking hands with the other -- but the motivation for the current cons is clear: With each fugitive brought back to justice, the team members earn time off of their sentences.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Breakout Kings is a show that likes to take risks, but the execution is flat and other elements don't stand out from the rest of the procedural pack.

      Time Out Staff Time Out Breakout Kings could be good, especially if it's washed down with fries. It's gritty and entertaining. Just a little, well, imprisoned. Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Chuck Barney San Jose Mercury News Lombardozzi, so riveting in "The Wire," brings edge and energy to the production. Rated: B Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Nancy Franklin New Yorker Breakout Kings fits in with the general grubbiness, and yet, thanks to its wit, it stands out, like a diamond in the dirt. Mar 21, 2011 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine The tug between fulfilling their duty to the law or up and flying the coop themselves should give these convicts a tense instability. Instead, they can seem merely ditsy. Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Michael Crider Screen Rant Even forgetting the rather ridiculous idea of cops allowing hardened criminals free reign to chase after their fellow inmates, the show manages to juggle extremely flawed protagonists, who-dun-it mystery and classic chase elements. Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald For a show that starts out with so much energy, "Breakout Kings" quickly settles into a procedural rut.
