i thought the Wire was solid all the way through to the end. HBO doesn't like to extend shows past the point of where the stories run their course. Showtime on the other hand seems to have CBS/Viacom execs who like to run it like they run network tv and have to milk as many seasons as possible out of their hits.
Dexter, Weeds, Billions, Homeland, etc. all started out strong, but carried on way too long with repetitive and convoluted plots.
GOT had completely different problems with their last couple seasons. It's problems stemmed from trying to pack too much into the final two seasons so they could wrap up the show.
