'Escape at Dannemora': Richard Matt slowly taking David Sweat under his wing was the key to their infamous prison break
Showtime's new show, 'Escape at Dannemora,' has already garnered rave reviews, but for those who know the true incident of jailbreak that Ben Stiller's dark prison drama is based on, the gradual evolution of the plot would be extremely thrilling to watch.
Especially since the pilot laid down a cardboard cut-out stereotype for every character, which made it hard for viewers to register the people we were seeing on screen, were actually capable of the heinous crimes they committed or, for that matter, any future indiscretions from their end. With episode two, it becomes clearer how art connoisseur Richard Matt (Benicio del Torro) and the seemingly timid and subtle David Sweat (Paul Dano) were actually able to plan a foolproof escape plan and successfully execute it too.
