Prison Break meets The Dirty Dozen in this new action drama about a pair of U.S. marshals who’ve assembled a team of convicts to pursue prison escapees. For the misfit hunters, reduced sentences are the potential rewards, and each character brings to the chase a borderline personality but also a handy skill: Erica is a seductive con woman, Lloyd a gambling-addicted psychologist. Once the premise is established, the show delivers pulpy fun and flashes of wit. Domenick Lombardozzi and Laz Alonso play the team’s squabbling co-leaders. Sunday, March 6, at 10 p.m., A&E
