For me its probably got to be Game of Thrones (although the ending was so anticlimactic)

      And Better Call Saul is equally great. Two best shows I’ve seen. Consistently high quality from start to end for both. That’s a hard thing to do.

        Better Call Saul started as the answer to the plot holes in Breaking Bad. It’s a shame the writters abandon that and ended the show on a nothing note.

          Rewatch the finale and try to understand why things go the way they do.

                Did you like that all the character building amounted to nothing? Jimmy, Kim, Lalo, Gus, Natcho all didn’t evolve or have any intresting endings that used their character. You could have replaced every of them with completely new characters during the final season and it wouldn’t change anything.

                  ::: Jimmy decides to take responsibility for once in his life, when he could have tricked the system once more. It’s his greatest achievement. Kim does the same and works to repay her debt. Gus, we all know how his story proceeds in Breaking Bad. Lalo ends up being a real threat for Gus who barely escapes death. Really it seems like you didn’t watch the series. :::

                    Lalo lost because he likes vlogging. So much for the scary powerful smart killer.

                    Gus left the safe house because he planned that Lalo likes vlogging. Impossibly improbable. Beyond stupid.

                    Natcho dies because he wasn’t smart enough to come up with a better plan despite frequently demonstrating that he’s smart. I can understand being unable to run from your problems forever, but his ending was the laziest way to show that.

                    Jimmy and Kim were just passive observers in something that didn’t really involve them. Kim has a life before Jimmy, and the boring life without Jimmy is unfitting of her character. Jimmy never had an expressive turn that justified his change of heart. It was unearned.

                    Genuinely lazy writing. There was no point for any of these characters to exist. By far the worst final season of a show to ever exist. So much potential wasted.

      I remember watching the S5E15 finale and actually getting chills from the ending. Best show.
