Original Title: Name a show that doesn’t “fall off” in later seasons and manages to tell a complete story? No bad or off seasons, and no rushed or forced endings- just a full story the way it was meant to be told and then it was done.


So many shows lose it after 3-4 seasons. I’ve learned to expect it. I start a new one and wonder “how long do I have before this show I love becomes shite?” It almost never fails. Name a show that didn’t have a bad season, never lost momentum, and also knew when to exit gracefully.

The Shield, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, and so far, The Americans are a few that managed to be consistently good in my opinion.
