What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did?

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

As much as I love Castle, I hated the "I need to do this myself to save you" mentality. Took like three different versions until the last couple episodes and "ok let's work together". Then I think writer strike or maybe actor discrepancies and it ended in such a flat way.

The leads disliked working with each other quite a bit by the end, and you can see when they started filming them apart as much as possible.

It fell into the trap of “things happening to the character” instead of “things happening external to the character and letting them figure it out”. I find that almost every serialized show starts to go that way about 4-5 seasons in.

I also really dislike how many of the kind of shows feel the need to completely change their premise from fun crime procedural to deep dark romance drama. Lucifer did the same kind of thing.
