The simple fact is... all lawyers deserve to die. When you make impactful decisions about the world and other people's lives, you will inevitably do some harm. And eventually, we will all have to face the music for it.
So how does Kim die? If it were up to me, I'd take a page out of the ending of "Wicked"; the book, not the musical. In the end, Kim got the life she wanted, or at least as close to it as she could reasonably ask for. She was the hero; she fought an all-powerful unjust system, and on many occasions, she even won. But every step of the way, the price was always steeper than she initially thought, and she paid dearly. By her early 70's she's lost love, and family, and her principles, and parts of her sanity, and even a few fingers and toes, to a righteous cause. And now, in her tower, she can feel the world closing in on her; if she has no regrets then why does she feel so, so sad? Life will scar you, and finally we have an answer to who Kim Wexler is at her very core, because everything else has been hacked away, piece by piece.
And then she dies. And unlike the other deaths in Breaking Bad, I'd like to end "Slippin' Kimmy" by following her into the afterlife. She's not reunited with her husband; that would be too cheesy. In fact, she can't even find herself. There is no heaven, no hell, not even the respite of the black void. Just chaos and sensory overload, and Colin Stetson music. She's punished for her misdeeds, but not in a way that would have been any different, if she had lived a pure life. Dissolution is what awaits us all, the weak and the strong alike. We can go to our graves with some peace of mind, knowing history will remember us albeit inaccurately, but that doesn't change the horror of what really lies beyond the curtain.
So yeah... even if I were the one writing the story, "Slippin' Kimmy" would rather definitively end after 2 seasons.
@somethin-stupid-67 sorry that the FotD is depressing today, but it had to be said.

The actress who plays Kim’s mom did a good job of acting similar to older Kim/Rhea. Like she did a really good job of capturing angry Kim yelling at people in the opening scene. You can see where Kim got some of that from.

Maybe I’m just sensitive, but it’s kind of touching how the male cast were so fascinated by Kim’s past and really wanted to know what the hell she got up to/what happened.
