Why we love it: Prison Break has been the big LA success story of this year. Like 24, it’s a race against time at break-neck pace with suspense by the bucketload. Life inside is incredibly tough, and the action also takes place outside the prison walls.
Watch it with: Your boyfriend – he'll love the action scenes! Or with your girlfriends, so that you can drool freely over the gorgeous Wentworth Miller!
