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

Just finished watching Marcella and I was so bored by season 3.

Season 1 and 2 are pretty great whodunit mysteries with many twists and turns to keep you guessing. Some super dark stuff thrown in there too and got me emotional on a couple of occasions.

Season 3 feels like a terrible spinoff where not only is there no real mystery, you'll dislike all the characters, including the 2 main returning character. It feels like an 8 episode single episode. You could probably watch the first and last episode and not really miss anything.

Servant. When your whole hook is "eerie and mysterious", you need to provide some payoff for the viewer at some point. After 4 seasons we got some really underwhelming payoff, and by that point the show had gotten so stale that Leanne was actually getting a significant amount of dialogue, so we also find out that that girl isn't a great actor. Thank god the production value was so high in other ways, because the narrative itself became very cheap.

Casa de Papel. The first season is its own contained story and it was fantastic and ended perfectly. The subsequent seasons were okay, but you could really tell that the writers hadn't expected the show to continue after season 1, and everything kind of felt made up on the spot and not nearly as well constructed. I watched it because I love some of the actors/characters, but when I recommend it to people, I tell them to only watch the first season.
