What happened to the screenwriter?

The Southern Metropolis Daily has a headline saying that the jailbreaker: Hurry up and enjoy it, the second season sucks. After watching it myself, I really feel that there is a big difference from the first season.
The first is the environment. The first season is in Fox River Prison, which is quite closed. The protagonists are fighting for a goal as a team. The conflicts and cooperation between characters are very attractive, and the dramatic conflicts are relatively concentrated. The second season has a wider environment. After breaking out, everyone has their own escape route, which distracts the focus. More sidelines make the plot very cluttered, like the T-bag, which steals a lot of the scene, and it doesn't make sense to the fate of Mike and Lincoln, and it's boring to me.
The second is the behavior of the protagonist. The escape of Mike and Lincoln was not a battle of wits as imagined, but made me feel a little mentally retarded. For example, in episode 15, after the president's younger brother committed suicide, they used the unskilled way of taking hostages to escape. It really surprised me. I thought there would be some clever way to escape. Come on, that's what I want too. It is also the fifteenth episode, and I always feel that Mike is no longer calm and calm. After finding the president's younger brother, he called the TV station without any plan (also under the strong opposition of kellerman). Although Miller's performance was very convincing, he always felt that Mike, who was planning everything Gone, became impulsive.
The third is about the whole conspiracy. The focus of the first season was to escape, so the focus of the second season should also explain the whole conspiracy to frame Lincoln. However, this season is still confusing to me.
To sum up, I hope the writers will do more work!
(A little humble opinion, if there is something wrong, please correct me~ hehe)
