It seems to me that all those serial dramas run off the rails after the first season or two. When I had cable, I watched Weeds until the first season or so and then I had to give up on it because it just kept getting more and more unrealistic. Not like I was really watching it for the realism, just that when I'm sitting there thinking "whats the most stupid, outrageous thing this character could possibly do" and then they do the exact thing I was thinking of, and it's totally stupid, I get bored. It's really difficult to keep the audience engaged and not bored without tiring them out with constant cartoonland insanity.
