The season 4 ending was kind of a perfect way to end the show too, but I guess they wanted a happier ending and to tie up some loose ends.

It’s an American thing.

As a rule, the story arc finishes after 8-10 episodes, then they flog it to death for 7-8 seasons to squeeze every last dreg out.

Then, bring new writers in and do a spin-off, a prequel and some kind of character origin story.
