Problem comes when main baddie player want out of series and he/it/she is replaced by some lamer chacter/not so good actor/teeny type when it used to be "adult".Tha's when it starts to suck. Always.Replacing main heroes, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If both happen, second season almost without fail sucks. SInce it is quite usual because of actor councrats and unceritany if show can continue.It gets worse if series have to drop plots tied to these specific character. It almost always without fail follows up half season of pointless one-shots, and little-too-late found new storyline. Babylon 5, season 5 is good example of this.If it's not problem of actors jumping off the show, when killing character doesn't work, when it's series with plot (or flimsy excuse of one) and they kill off character people enjoy watching (maybe not even a major one, not always one of the good guys either) and that one is killed off in really stupid and poitless way.And to we honest watching some tv-shows have charm of watching train-wreck. You kinda expect them to waste one of those grade a a-holes. Historical series are often filled with really hatable characters. And since it's historical we pretty much know it will end up bad, but details are interesting. Seeing people plot and succeed and fail.And unlike some real-tv crap there is thematic background, cool costumers and people who actually can act. And you actually can see mr-go-away bite the dust.With cop-series, I don't really care for any characters. Maybe if there would be some dramatic deaths in main-cast it would help to keep it interesting. INstead american cop-shows are full of social yap-yap and some case/double case-of season. Law series usually do double cases don't know why. I'd love to know where that habit came from. Probably it's just that watching judging panel is so boring, to avoid yawn-fest they do two-three unusual judging scenes.Also those crime fighter series have some kinda semi-plot that progresses laggingly usually with first and last episode of series.American series like to hang to their set of main team, that is too shiny for real world. And lot of action is re-placed (probably for budget reason) with all kinda social bickering.Walking Dead is good example of series that work like that, first there were lot of zombie fights. Now it's more like psycho-lady-who-doesn't-want-to.cooperate. Well for me it started to suck 4th episode of 1st season. I also liked the Event. Which many didn't like, and it was canceled after season 1.</blockquote>
