Some time ago I saw the Alcatraz Blu-ray boxset on sale, I guess you can't really call two discs a boxset but it contains all 13 episodes of the cancelled TV series, I was originally never going to bother watching the episodes as I knew the series ended without any kind of resolution but the discs were just so cheap I couldn't pass them up.
I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes and rather enjoyed them but got distracted by something else and that was the pattern I would follow, months later I would watch a few more episodes and enjoy them but then get distracted by something else, nearly 2 years later I've finally finished all 13 episodes.
Overall I enjoyed the show, of course it ended just when it was getting interesting but I thought it was fun, as the show just suddenly ends it makes for a disappointing viewing experience as there is no resolution to the story being told.
I liked Alcatraz but I can't say I'd recommend it unless you can find it really cheap and like me are curious about the show, with all the crap that seems to survive and even thrive on TV today it's a shame this show didn't at least run for a season or two.
