The only shows on your list I've seen are The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, and Dexter. Of those shows it is only the last two that I've seen every episode.
My top choice out of those would be Boardwalk Empire and Dexter would be next, with Sopranos last. I guess I will vote for BE. It was a great show, especially the first 3 seasons. And I honestly enjoyed season 4 a lot too. Season 5 was meh.

Ash Vs Evil Dead and Dexter for me.
It’s why I didn’t make the initial response. I’ve heard good things about the other shows, but not enough to rank them.
Ash Vs Evil Dead still had a lot left to offer imo, before it was cancelled.
Dexter was a terrific show, that just went all to hell the last 3 seasons or so. It didn’t know when to quit.
The Wire and Sopranos really are in a tier of their own

Boardwalk Empire's first 2-3 seasons are truly excellent, like I said. Plus it's got the best Al Capone, who is featured in numerous episodes.

Yeah I have yet to see it but from the clips I’ve seen with Michael Shannon it looks really good

Seasons 1 and 2 of Dexter were perfect
Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of Banshee were perfect
The wire is very dated now
The Sopranos is also dated now
Both were superb.
Lost interest in BWE didn't see the others. For Season 2 with Doakes and the Bay Harbour Butcher Dexter edges out Season 1 Banshee just a smidgen.
I should've responded to this:
Yeah Banshee's finale felt rushed and weird-as-hell, the climactic final fights sucked, there is no reason Bunker's fight should feel better then it, but it was a lot better, Burton vs Hood sucked.
Then we get this weird killer guy who is treated like a joke when finally caught.
Season 4 of Dexter with Lithgow as Trinity is one of my favorite seasons of TV ever. Like many shows they didnt stick the landing on the ending but I loved it overall
