    The first few that come to mind is

    • Breaking Bad.
    • Mr. Robot.

    There’s probably more but I haven’t watched TV in so long it’s gonna take me some time to think back. I’ll update if any more come to me.

      I think Breaking Bad left off at a perfect point. El Camino succeeded at something that most sequels don’t - adding meaningful closure for something that was left open-ended on the original show, while remaining faithful. Most sequels come off as a desperate money grab, and will invent nonsensical problems while failing to maintain original characterization, dialogue, and overall quality. Enough people wanted a real ending for Jesse, and it was only natural to write a conclusion for him (which imo still maintained Breaking Bad quality.)
