Trampas from The Virginian.

Kareem Said from Oz could have been Top Ten, but that show got cartoonish after a while. Same with the brothers from Six Feet Under.

People are acting like Tony Soprano is some complex character. He's just a sociopath with mommy issues. *yawn*

Good choices. I was trying to list one from The Wire and couldn't decide on who was the best one.

I know people hated the ending and it was only 8 episodes, but Rust Cohle was a pretty interesting character.

It's meant to be. Walter White and Tony Soprano are power characters. But interesting?

A few randos more in the spirit of ‘interesting’ than best:

- Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone
- Kai Proctor from Banshee
- Pre-sarin Quinn from Homeland
- Frank Reynolds
- Creed Bratton

Good choices. I was trying to list one from The Wire and couldn't decide on who was the best one.

Omar Little is the most intriguing character from The Wire, though Marlo and Stringer are also very good choices.

In my opinion, Gus Fring is the most intriguing character from Breaking Bad.
