Usually when a show loses a major character, it goes downhill fast. But occasionally it actually improves the show by forcing the writers to explore new dynamics and storylines. Are there any shows you think genuinely got better after a main character departure? I’m curious about cases where the loss was actually a creative blessing in disguise.
