Usually when the "Been Here, Done This" feeling gets stronger than my interest in whatever variations the writer's brought in for the newer books in the series.  Doesn't necessarily mean the series has gone bad, but it's just not for me any more even though I may not hesitate to recommend it to someone else looking for a good set of reads.

These days I don't even want to start a series, though there are a couple I'll still follow; I'm a bit behind on Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books, and any time Lawrence Block wants to put out another Matt Scudder novel I'm there.
