Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?

Breaking Bad. The whole 5th season seemed unnecessary to me.

It was the fall of Walter White. If we ended at series 4 he’s a successful drug dealer and no moral lesson was learned. Series 5 saw his greed lead to his downfall and eventual demise turning the story into a tragedy.

IIRC, he was a successful drug dealer, but wanted to quit, and at the end of the 4th season it seemed it was what would happen. Anyway, as I said before, I enjoyed the last season, but the (more or less) open ending of the 4th wouldn’t have been bad (IMO)

What? You could argue the first season was slow but without the last season the whole character trajectory wouldn’t be there

Well, I’d rather would have preferred kind of an “open arch”. To me, during the 4th season, WW was trying to quit and reedem himself ; at the end, it seemed that he woukd be able to. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the 5th season, but… he deserved better (story wise)

Did he though? The entire premise of the show is that he really isn’t a good person and all his problems are self inflicted due to his arrogance and pride. I really think he deserved exactly what happened to him.
