Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

Dexter. Just leave it at the end of season 6, on the giant 'what the fuck' moment. Leave it there with all the potential and possibilities and open questions for people to wonder about.

I'd argue the end of season 4 would have been an incredible ending. We'd have talked about that show for a generation if we ended it on that note.

OH. MY. GOD. YES. PLEASE.

Agreed. I stopped after season 4 because it was the perfect ending in my mind.

Trinity Killer won, the only thing that kept Dexter's sliver of humanity was gone.

It was almost impressive how they managed to fuck up the ending that badly, revive it for a mini-series, get this close to turning it around and then fuck the ending again lol.

It's like the X-Men movies comitting suicide by badly adapting the Phoenix Saga twice, with the same writer.
