Most fans agree that Chicago Fire has seen better days, but some would go as far as wanting the show canceled.

Right here and now, they say, there's no point in beating the dead horse and all that kind of stuff.

Of course, no one really likes it when a show is canceled: the fans don't get a proper ending and they hate it, and the showrunners are on the receiving end of that hate, so if they can avoid cancelation, they will.

It's completely understandable why the Chicago Fire fan community doesn't take kindly to the people who suggest it.

But cancelation is just one of the two ways for a show to end, and the most unpleasant. Its safe alternative is a definite ending… And this is the outcome that most of the OG fans have been talking about for quite some time now.

It's been a dozen years since the show started.

The people who have been watching since then are sure that Chicago Fire has run its course: it had its ups and downs, genius and terrible seasons, amazing character development and the most useless characters of all times (yes, Carver, it's you!)... But all things must end, even the good ones.

After all these years, it seems only fair to naturally wrap up the show to prevent it from becoming the worst version of itself.

According to the majority of fans, it has already been declining during the past few seasons, and if it sinks really low, no one's going to be happy — even the people that don't want Chicago Fire to go.

Most fans who still watch Chicago Fire (some even claim they do it "religiously") admit that they do it out of loyalty and love for the characters, not because the show is good these days.

They just want to see more Severide action when he comes back or are hyped that Casey's going to be back, and that's it.

When so many loyal fans say that the series should end soon before degrading, it's high time for the showrunners to pick the signs. So many great shows were run to the ground because they didn't finish when they had to…

None of us want the same thing happening to Chicago Fire, do we?
