    I finished Breaking Bad about a month ago, and let me tell you, it was addicting. I finished the whole series in just about 2 weeks. I Started Prison Break immedietly after but lost interest about half way through the first season but have since picked it back up and it's great. I just cant decide which one I like more... If you've watched one or both, which one did you like and why?

    I've seen them both and I loved them both. I have to say I liked breaking bad a bit better just because it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire episode, even though Prison Break had some good cliff hangers. I wasn't too big of a fan of the 4th Prison Break season- I felt it was a bit repetitive- but overall I think it was a great show.

    I finished prison break. Thought it was sweet. Gotta finish breaking bad still, definitely my choice. Both great shows though.
    Another one that I was watching with prison break was 24, which has a new season coming out that should be great.

    I couldn't get into breaking bad, but I loved seasons one and two of prison break. I spent more time on sons of anarchy and dexter. And for the juvenile humor, I stuck with the league.

    I watched all of BB. I tried PB and could not fully get into it. If I had all kinds of time I may watch it but my TV is valuable.

    I watched both. BB is better IMO. PB is good too though but It wasn't able to hold my attention enough to finish the final season.

    Prison Break was great for the first season. After that...eh.

    Breaking Bad was consistently great for every season.

    This mirrors my thoughts exactly. PB was cool for a season or two, but every season was just a remake of the previous one just in a different prison this time around. I lost interest...

    Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and True Detective are my three favorite series I've seen to date. I also enjoy Justified but recognize the corniness of it.

    No contest Breaking Bad over Prison Break every day of the week.

    An older show I really enjoyed that is in the same vein as these is The Shield. Probably one of my all time favorite TV series.

    I also agree that Breaking Bad is better. Cooter/MN and TEmbry that's how I'm beginning to feel as well.
