'Breaking Bad' officially stood up as the most rated series of all time. Each five of its seasons' finale gave as the most gruesome and equally satisfying climax. Arguably the most notable one can't be ignored is Gus Fring's death.

The supreme leader of a cartel being pinned down by a mere high school chemistry teacher in itself is the one to watch for, but where does it rank among the most iconic ones in the history of TV. See for yourself.

Robert Romano - ER

In contrast to other characters on this list, ER's 'Robert Romano' wasn't a killer or even a criminal—he was just that conceited doctor every hospital show has to have in order to give the more agreeable characters someone to spar with. It's to actor Paul McCrane's credit that Romano wound up being such a satisfying, love-to-abhor them thorn in the staff's side.

After being introduced in the show's fourth season, Romano continuously manages to present himself as offensive, alienating, and insulting just about everyone he knew, all while contributing to the top-rated show's consistently riveting drama. Romano exited with an extravagant flair in Season 10, paying for his TV sins by being squashed under a helicopter that tumbled off the hospital roof.

A career criminal whose inclination toward violent upheavals was overlooked because of his ability to get things done, Ralphie was a long-term burr in the seat for Tony, who couldn't get rid of a mad man even if he did kill a stripper in the parking lot of the syndicate’s favorite club. If Sopranos fans despised Cifaretto after that incident, they really couldn't stand him after he started a stable fire that took the life of a horse he owned with Tony subsequent to killing his pregnant love to death.

Ramsey Bolton - Game Of Thrones
