![]() ![]() It’s the opening that Richard Matt needs to secure the tools necessary for his eventual escape. Though he is the prisoner, he’s also got all the leverage, because Tilly is miserable and these backroom sessions are apparently all that she has to live for. Richard Matt - the brains of the escape operation - steps right up into the vacancy, but he’s after more than sex with Tilly. Eventually, however, it does lead to Sweat losing his job in the sewing lab, as well as his place in one of the more desirable cells. Tilly is a middle-aged woman whose sad-sack husband never looks at her and who takes an intense interest in Sweat, which invariably attracts the attention of not just the other prisoners but some of the prison staff.īanging the prisoners, however, is not apparently a fireable offense. Tilly runs the sewing lab in the prison, and she and Sweat develop a relationship built upon 45-second f*cks in the backroom of the unit. ![]() The first few episodes, at least, dig into how the escape plan comes together, and the crucial role that Tilly Mitchell (Patricia Arquette) plays. I remember enough to know that Matt (Benicio del Toro) and Sweat (Paul Dano) escaped and that the manhunt was extensive, but Ben Stiller, working from a script from creators Brett Johnson and Michael Tolkin, meticulously brings the details to life in a slow-moving but riveting drama. I don’t recall many of the details about murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat’s escape from the Clinton Correctional Facility in 2015, so the events of Ben Stiller’s stellar Showtime series, Escape at Dannemora, are as new to me as the events currently unfolding on Bravo’s true-to-life series Dirty John.
