Generally have a tough time, especially with streaming, to stick with something past Season 3 (looking at you, Breaking Bad).

It's hard to infinitely amp up the stakes without going off the rails.

I dunno, BB was an outlier for me in that it kept getting better. We're there some crap filler episodes? Of course. Did the story wander a bit? Sure. But I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

It's also worth noting that many of these shows from the traditional TV days were a once a week affair and weren't intended to be binged. It was a different way of watching back then.
