You may be right, but BSG just sort of seemed to unravel pretty badly toward the end, trashed Starbuck's character into oblivion, and lastly, didn't have Camina Drummer or Amos in it.
The Expanse is weak sauce compared to BSG. It was too hamfisted in the writing that first season, and it never fully rectified that. Whereas BSG only stumbled towards the very end, and in all fairness that was probably more the writer's strike fault than anything else.
what's this? I hear a gif galloping in the distance. could it be... no, surely not. wait! i think it might be....
I don't think I'll ever rewatch Breaing Bad. I'm gonna try not to sh*t on it. But it's not a good show. Lost on the other hand I really loved until the end. And now I will never watch it again. Unless someone holds me down and prys my eyes open and puts little drops of LSD in them. Then I will watch it. Maybe I'll be able to enjoy that ridiculous ending if I'm high enough.
Oh I loved the ending two seasons of Lost, so I'm generally in the minority I suppose. I forgot to mention Deadwood. EGGS SEA LINT!!! except that HBO ending already mentioned.
How did I forget about the Expanse?!
HBO's Rome might be a contender for me. Two seasons, great story, mostly great acting, and the story actually CONCLUDES at a reasonable point without leaving fans on a cliffhanger to later cancel the series altogether.

Lisa and I are watching Breaking Bad again, mostly due to Saul wrapping up in the next couple weeks. I think Saul edges it for me just slightly, if only because of the Skylar factor. Wexler > Skylar by a long shot. BB is still amazing, though!
Lost is still a top favorite of mine, also.
I need to re-watch BSG again to see how it holds up against The Expanse, which I tend think is a bit better overall, but perhaps that is because I have seen it more recently. Final season of BSG is decidedly weaker IMO.
Rounding out the Top 5 would be The Wire and The X-Flies. The Rockford Files, which we are still working through, gets honorable mention...

I spent years begging friends to just "make it through" the miniseries to get to the first episode, "33." That if they're not hooked by the end of that, then they probably won't ever be. But they HAD to watch the miniseries to know wtf was going on at all.
This may still be in my top 5 series titles. I'd have to revisit it though. Lost and Breaking Bad are both in that list, no question.
