Instead, in “Unearthed” Michael goes directly to meet with Mahone’s wife to learn more about his antagonist. It was clear there would be no mercy from Mahone, so Michael had to learn about his enemy to fight back.Īll the information about Michael was available to the FBI through his records, but Michael didn’t have that advantage for discovering Mahone's weaknesses. Agent Alexander Mahone wound up being one of the most compelling Prison Break characters, as clever and relentless as Michael, but bent on killing all of the Fox River escapees rather than capturing them. A big part of that was that Michael needed a strong new obstacle after he overcame the prison in season one, so this time around, his biggest challenge was a person. Most Prison Break fans seem to agree that the first season was when the series was at its peak, but season two was still really good television too.
