When networks and writers have to decide if a show should continue on for another season or call it a day, whether that show has run its course or not needs to be considered. Most of the time, a show will peak early on, at some point in its first few seasons, and after that, it's a balancing act between still making a good show and carrying on for so long that people lose interest and you tarnish its legacy. Every show is at risk of ruining the magic with every passing season, no matter how much a cultural phenomenon it is. I'm looking at you, Game of Thrones.

It got bigger and better with each passing season but was cut off at the perfect moment. If there's a secret recipe for how to make that happen, Gilligan appears to be the one who has it.

Especially one about Saul. The
