The show Prison Break and "The Company" Too much like what we are seeing in the US.
If you have not watched Prison Break, do yourself a favor and check it out on Netflix. The show draws you in episode by episode. The Govt in the show is exactly what i imagined our Govt to be like. Here is a break down of "The Company"

The Company is a secret group of multinational corporate alliances known only by those who work for them or oppose them. Its influence and power over individuals stretches to the White House, controlling every decision the country makes. Its main goal is to attain control over the country's economy. With Caroline Reynolds, the former Vice President of the United States in their grasp, "The Company" held control over the government's sway on the energy bill and subsequently, the country's economy. However, "The Company" considers every individual who works for them a pawn to achieve their goals.

I have watched this series about 10 or more times and it seems like everytime i watch it i catch a few thing i missed before.

Its desperate need to attain control of the country's economy eventuated in illegal dealings through Caroline Reynolds' brother's company, Ecofield. When one of their employees leaked information about Ecofield into the public, "The Company" went to incredible lengths to capture him. This man was Aldo Burrows (Anthony Denison). In order to bring him out into the open, "The Company" masterminded a conspiracy and used Caroline Reynolds' power as the Vice President to convict his son, Lincoln Burrows of Terrence Steadman's murder, thus framing an innocent Lincoln.

"The Company" became increasingly worried about Caroline Reynolds chances at winning the presidential elections after her support started to plummet in the polls. After Reynolds lost President Richard Mills' confidence and the support for a key energy bill, "The Company" decided to cut her off and advised her to drop out of the race, or they would have to make her. They were greatly surprised when Reynolds had the President killed shortly thereafter (disguising it as a heart-attack) and was then sworn in as the next President of the United States.

The relationship between Reynolds and "The Company" after she became President is uncertain. At first glance, it seems like she severed her ties with them. However, they may still be involved in the plot although Caroline Reynolds is in a much more powerful position now since she became President without their help. If the partnership is still active, it's no longer sure who controls whom.

The company's main HQ is right next to The Gate Corporation building and part of the buildings blueprint is shown in episode 4x07 Five the hard way.

yes., i watched it on netflix.....was excellent.

it does show how tptb motivate people to do terrible things.

did you catch the recent event where the firefighters were called to put out a fire that was intentionally set ...in order for the arsenist to murder the firefighters when they arrived.

this , ...to me...looks like a 'prison break' scenario.

the guy was likely threatened ....and promised that if he went thru with it...and then killed himself...that his family? would be taken care of.

who would start a fire....to kill firefighters..with the plan to commit suicide immediately afterward? The guy was not psychotic
