It's a great show but I think if you are looking at overall quality, Breaking Bad and Dexter beat it. Dexter is marginally better because it feels slightly less like they are just stringing along each week. Breaking Bad is considerably better because it's the first series like it where they don't rely on cliff hangers to get you to watch. The pace is much slower and it's not "live or die" each episode. They also spend more time on character development so when a character is in jepordy, you care more for them. It's not as dumbed down as Prison Break either, for example you are required to work out for yourself characters motives and feelings rather than beeing spoon fed each twist and turn.
Yes, i know Dexter and BrBad are better, i just meant that Prison Break had the best cliffhanger management over all the series i have watched. It doesn't mean it's the best (on my "list", its not even top 5), just the feeling you get when you watch an exciting cliffhanger and you want to see the solution immediately, is the most intense in PB.
Top 5 series for me (not in order, cause i would rather not compare them) : Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, American Horrror Story, Person of Interest
