One of the best shows on television. My favorite this season was the guy that finally pretended to be a priest to escape the law. At least he taught me something...you must do your homework.

I like seeing how they get out, how they live on the run for however long it is, an then how they get busted. Also what they did to get arrested in the first place, an how much time they are facing. I just hate how they drag it out in between commercial

Depictions are to entice viewers shock and awe, and not truly tell the whole story, with false edits, gloomy music and should be ashamed of the exploitation of human beings for profit.
