I thought they might save it by getting rid of the family at the end of season 4. Season 5 was watchable but it was getting increasingly difficult to suspend disbelief through seasons 5 and 6. But IMHO, it fully jumped the shark at the end of season 6. There was no point watching it after that.

Deb falling in love with her brother was absolutely ridiculous. I hate watched it to the conclusion after that. I dont care that they arent blood they are siblings and that family chemistry bond really resonated

It got back on track in Season 4 almost entirely because Lithgow was so good, but it was definitely all downhill after that.
