I'm no expert in behind-the-scenes of a TV show but I think it hurts a TV show when the original writer and creator leaves. I really think that the main creator of the show must stick with the show in its entirity, along with loyand handful of writers.
Clyde Phillips was the the Vince Gilligan of Dexter if I am not mistaken. He left the show after season 4 unfortunately. It has been downhill ever since.
Imagine Gilligan leaving Breaking Bad and what a disaster it would have been.
Its not that other show-runners are bad; its just that they can never understand the show as the original showrunner did. The same vision is never consistently implement.
