Ce l'avevo quasi fatta

The first episodes I saw of this series involved failed escape attempts by criminals who had been imprisoned for crimes like robbery and drug distribution. So, the largely unserious tone of the episodes wasn't an issue. But, when I saw that they had episodes for prisoners who were convicted of such horrific crimes as rape and murder (of innocent people, including families.), the tone of these episodes were wildly inappropriate (murders among criminals or gang members would have been right on the line, but still acceptable). There is no justification for a reality series that tries to tell amusing, humanizing stories of criminals who have committed heinous crimes... especially when some 'amusing' failed escape stories involve the criminals abusing, raping, and murdering other inncocent civilians during their escape attempts.

Even for the pathetically low standard that exists for reality television, it still defies belief that someone thought this was a good idea and no one else scuttled it before it became a series.
