It is interesting comparing to GoT. In the case of Veep the showrunner left after 4 seasons but the show was able to transition to a new showrunner and gave us 3 more excellent seasons with a great conclusion. Compare to GoT where Benioff and Weiss stayed on longer than they probably wanted to and ended up rushing the conclusion so they would control it. The ending of GoT could have worked better making a switch after season 6 and letting someone else write another 4 seasons.
Here is an article with another comparison:

Selina Meyer’s downfall was beautifully earned. Daenerys Targaryen’s was a frustrating mess.
