Although based on a true story I think the producers maybe sampled a bit from both Shawshank Redemption and Fargo.  To me the show has a lot of things that reminded me of both.  Sadly it is a true story that involves lives that have been ruined. Fortunately the ones that escaped were dealt with, one is dead and the other will never step out of prison walls again. The weird thing is David Sweat was ordered to pay $79,841 in restitution for damages done during his escape. I seriously doubt he will ever be able to pay that back on prison wages.

Back on topic, Benicio Del Toro was great in his portrayal of Richard Matt. He's one of my favorite actors that doesn't get enough appreciation.
