Prison Playbook
슬기로운 감빵생활Checked and re-read
From the director of Reply 1988, and it works the same way: a cell block full of people you learn to like. A baseball pitcher is jailed, and the show is a comedy about routine, hierarchy and small kindnesses, interrupted by one episode of real violence to remind you where you are. It is a soft version of prison and the pitcher is the least interesting man in his own cell. The first episode is the worst one; from the second the ensemble takes over. Almost everybody gets a fair landing, which is why it rewatches so easily.
With his major league baseball debut right around the corner, a star pitcher lands in prison and must learn to navigate his new world.
Hooks early Episode 2, once the cell mates are introduced properly.
