    I think Breaking Bad left off at a perfect point. El Camino succeeded at something that most sequels don’t - adding meaningful closure for something that was left open-ended on the original show, while remaining faithful. Most sequels come off as a desperate money grab, and will invent nonsensical problems while failing to maintain original characterization, dialogue, and overall quality. Enough people wanted a real ending for Jesse, and it was only natural to write a conclusion for him (which imo still maintained Breaking Bad quality.)
