Photograph: Wilson Webb/Showtimeīenicio del Toro and Paul Dano are impressive, too, as Matt and Sweat, though both play more to their usual types. Impressive turns … Benecio del Toro and Paul Dano Escape at Dannemora. Prison is boring and repetitive, and it makes that point well, but even so I imagine its slow burn would work more effectively weekly than gobbling it all up at once. It is slow to the point of inertia two episodes in, they are only just starting to think about the plan. The whole thing is now on Sky Atlantic – seven episodes of it – but it is one of those rare contemporary dramas that is ill-suited to binge-watching, and might be better to take at a more leisurely pace. It was such an audacious feat that its dramatisation was inevitable, and this is an elegant, if meandering, take on the affair. Richard Matt and David Sweat, both murderers serving life sentences, pulled off the unthinkable and managed to cut through pipes and walls in order to escape. In 2015, two inmates broke out of a maximum security prison in upstate New York. Some of those portrayed in the series have publicly denounced Stiller’s vision of events, though, it should be said, they have been unable to actually see it, given their current situations. Patricia Arquette has won every award going for her portrayal of Joyce ‘Tilly’ Mitchell, the civilian who ran the prison sewing factory, and whose involvement with the men under her charge went beyond mere supervision. It’s been difficult to escape from Escape at Dannemora (Sky Atlantic), the tale of an astounding real-life prison break that marks Ben Stiller’s TV-directing debut.
