3. Prison Break

Created by Paul Scheuring, this unique crime drama was a gritty exploration of the American prison system as it revolved around two brothers, one of whom was wrongfully convicted, and the other hatched a clever plan to get his brother to escape from jail. While the first season was acclaimed by both viewers and critics for its writing and inventive escape plan, the later seasons drew criticism for its repetitive and unrealistic plotlines.
