“An Unjust Death,” the season premiere of A&E’s hit show “Breakout Kings,” kept its promises. Promotions for the grungy drama foreshadowed the demise of one the series’ beloved convicts with the tagline “One King Will Fall,” but no one expected the urgency of statement. The premiere begins with the gang of barely reformed convicts on a mission to help capture escapees, the latest a vicious serial killer. The fast-paced episode infused with twists, danger and the feeling of impending doom climaxes as the show reaches its close. The premiere sets the tone for the rest of the season, with its cleverly crafted storyline and witty dialogue. This underrated series has the potential to become a new guilty pleasure for viewers with an appetite for crime shows.
