'Escape at Dannemora': How Tilly Mitchell went from sexually dominant to submissive pawn in prison break
Three weeks in, and Showtime's latest prison drama from Ben Stiller - 'Escape at Dannemora' - has already established itself as one of the darkest, grittiest adaptations of a real-life incident; and while there are a hundred million things absolutely awe-inspiring, thrilling, and spectacular about the show, one of the things that assure viewers are in for a terrific treat is the brilliant portrayal of the downfall of one of its main characters - Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell (Patricia Arquette).
From running the tailor shop at the Clinton Correctional Facility where the infamous 2015 prison break of inmates Richard Matt (Benicio del Toro) and David Sweat (Paul Dano) took place, to becoming an unwitting pawn in the inmates' plan - Tilly's ride through the tale was wild, but a sad one. And, 'Escape at Dannemora' showcases it unbridled.
