Death Note is a popular answer, and I also agree that its ideal stopping point is...

Death NoteL's death

Bocchi the Rock is another show that I felt would be at its best if it stopped at episode eight. If the upcoming compilation movie stops there, I may consider it superior to the TV series. It's not unheard-of. Violet Evergarden's film-length recap stopped at Episode 10.

I want to see more of Bocchi-chan's rock!The title drop + roll credits is its peak and climax. I hoped its finale would be amazing. However, episode eight overshadowed episode 12. Everything after E8 felt like a lede for an S2.

What are yours?

Hot take time?

The Office.

I enjoyed the first few seasons immensely, but at some point the characters felt off to me. It's been a while since I watched it, so I can't pinpoint when exactly it started to change anymore.

Yeah, assuming you're talking about the US one, I have to agree it definitely loses itself towards the end. It just starts bringing in crazy caricatures instead of fully formed relatable characters because the goofier parts of the established cast were received well. Once Catherine Tate shows up, I'm eyeing the exits.

I just binged it for the first time recently.

It fell flat for me when Michael left. The Office without Michael sort of feels like Scrubs without J.D. or Turk, it just doesn't work as well. I still enjoyed the rest but it got noticeable weaker.
