Doesn't check out. Haven't watched a ton of prestige TV but of what I have...
The Wire
A fairly obvious note that the cycle of poverty and violence will continue, just with different characters.
Game of Thrones
The entire last 2-3 seasons were garbage that got steadily worse so frankly the ending doesn't really even stand out that much. Still, it does fit with the overarching "moral" of the series, IE feudalism is bad regardless of who is in charge and change to the social structure is needed to prevent more giant blood feuds.
Breaking Bad
A conventional ending where Walter says "I did the crimes because of toxic masculinity" and then dies while trying to redeem himself in a way that's still kind of toxically masculine
Possble, it's been years since I watched it so I don't remember it very well. The machine gun thing seemed to be about killing the nazis but I guess he didn't know Jesse would be... I want to say in a pit?
EDIT: And even if that is the case, that's not some rando twist or abrupt sudden ending, it's Walt continuing to be a piece of shit.

I don't think he even knew Jesse was still alive
He did after Skinny Pete and Badger told him blue meth was still being produced
