Not that long, but Sons of Anarchy started doing this midway through its run with 90 minute episodes pretty much every week. It's pretty much why I stopped watching.

closer to The Shield/ Sopranos or more cheesy

Starts out and you think it'll be like The Shield where it's incredible and each season goes into the next so easily, but it slowly but surely morphs into a soap opera.

Yeah seasons 1 and 2 had a good hook and clear development of characters, then it devolves into characters following the same arc every season. Later seasons honestly feel close to a cw show in quality imo

They became a slog. A lot of the episodes had a 3-4 minute intro with only music playing and nobody saying anything. Plus the storylines were trash and some characters were killed off too late (or not at all).
