Breaking bad and better call Saul would like a word
What I remember is, they do have forms of payoff within each season. The satisfaction from each "ending" they give is in some ways self-contained.
It's not about closing off the story such that every last thread is resolved, more about whether you can appreciate it without wondering about twenty other questions.
My memory may be wrong but I thought I remembered a cliff hanger at each seasons end
Not really, I wouldn't call them cliff hangers. BB is the less cliffhangy show compared to GOT. They did plant a few things for the future, but no scene is ever left unresolved in the middle of a dramatic event like, for example, The Walking Dead. You could watch only BB season 1 and still feel like you got a satisfying crazy story beginning to end. It starts with a chemistry teacher and ends with a that same dude and his ex-student signing a deal to cook meth for a psychotic gang leader. Nothing immediate is left unresolved.
