It can’t go on forever and is better to be remembered for being a constant success, as opposed to going down the route of Modern Family, Blue Heelers, Desperate Housewives etc. Nobody really cared about them in the end sadly.

To shut the fans down, announce a spin-off focusing on the men’s prison with one of the guards incarceration the catalyst for introduction in the new world. Get Nicola Da Silva back for a few eps to provide legal aid as Franky Doyle and that might shut people up.

But ratings are still strong. The show is popular and still winning critical acclaim. Agree that it shouldn’t drag on if quality starts dropping but at this point in time it’s still doing extremely well.

Yes but why not preserve that? Grey’s Anatomy and Modern Family still rate okay in the US but will their later years be remembered? Quit while you’re ahead I say. You get to a point where there are a limited number of things that could happen inside one prison unless aliens invade.

Prisoner went on to have 692 episodes, but I guess back then it was a different time. Gone are the days of long-running dramas

I just don’t think they’ve reached that point yet.

Punishment was a men’s version of Prisoner. It started Barry Crocker as the Governor and Mel Gibson was an inmate.

It only lasted for a few episodes and the rest of the series played out over summer.

I’m sure they could come up with something similar and better.

It was better than I hoped for considering this season wasn’t as compelling as past seasons. I was satisfied with how it was wrapped up.

Can’t for the life of me remember that character at all.

This season as a whole was disappointing. Too many departures too.

I read somewhere that the first two episodes of next season are the best opening episodes in the series so it gives a bit of hope that next season will be an improvement on this season.

If the rumours are true that next season is the last, I can see as to why after this season. It was so lacklustre

I knew it was going to be that character. Pretty obvious when you think about it. Why else would they have shown them at the start of the season?

Why were media reporting sets were being dismantled? Is it fake news and why would they do that? The show needs to end with season seven. Go out on a high while quality is maintained. If it goes on any longer the quality will decline.
