Season 3 and its fallout in S4 (Hopper in Russia) were pretty dire. Cut those and go deeper with the Satanic Panic plot from S4 instead. Maybe actually have a church leader involved, not just jocks and the PTA? Riff on the "spiritual warfare" literature of the period, Mike Warnke, Frank Peretti -- distant cultural ancestors of QAnon, by the way.
American Gods. I mean, still better would have been to just do it as good as the first season

Big Mouth. Season 4 redoes and then it just gets awful
Every Jenji Kohan show.
Person of Interest
First two seasons were phenomenal. From that point forward it was a battle royal between the writing team, with each one trying to push their personal perspective on the series to the point it was like watching three different series mashed together.
Spartacus
The lead actor died at the end of season one. That is it. Pack it up and go home.
Prison Break
You had one good season. It was the concept. The moment the actual break is done, there is nothing to go on.
That's enough for now.
Grey's Anatomy
Because just how long can that thing go on for?
Law and Order
Any of its iterations. Same as above.
House M.D.
Good show until you start to put in and take out characters just to maintain the pulse of the thing.
Now I'm done!

Mad Men. If it had ended with him standing on the top of the stairs saying "This is not the end!" it would have been perfect. Everything after that was weak wish fulfillment.

Young Sheldon. There's nothing left they can do with the formula.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The first half of the series was great, I literally almost choked from laughter a couple times. The show kept going but I thought the jokes weren't landing as much anymore.
Oh definitely a hot take! Obviously there are outstanding episodes in the newer seasons, but you also can't say it hasn't changed alot.
I still love the new stuff, there are real classics in there, though it's not as edgy as it was

I think The Shield ended a season too late. If the seasons 6 and 7 were condensed into one with [spoilers ahead] the fallout of the Kavanaugh investigation and the money train, rather than stretching them across two different season, I think the ending would have a tighter pace and would really feel like the "walls are closing in." Plus the whole cartel subplot of the last season came out of nowhere
Edit: Riverdale too, but that should go without saying
Edit 2: House of Cards should've ended with Kevin Spacey leaving
Edit 3: True Detective
