Prison Break
Felt like every season got worse and worse
I’m surprised Lost isn’t mentioned yet.
American Gods.
The first season was incredible, with stellar performances all through it. Then half the cast left the show over some behind the scenes stuff and it just never quite reached the same level again. Made me sad.
Surprised I’m not seeing it, so Game of Thrones. The first season felt like watching the book. It was engaging, had stellar performances, sweeping set pieces, outstanding score, everything.
Then, well, time makes fools of us all. …
Season one is alright, I like 5 and 6 actually.
Stranger things season one is the best of that show. Each episode flows great and keeps you going to the next one. It really is a hard one to stop once you start. The later seasons are ok, but never reaching season one greatness for me.
Dollhouse
Rome
Bloodline.
Everything was fine - no need for any more seasons.
Friday Night Lights
Big brother. It was originally just a little odd show about watching normal people interact. Like a human zoo.
Then people realised how famous they could get and it became the absolute worst thing society has ever created.
The Head
Season 2 is borderline unwatchable
Firefly.
Yeah, I’m going there.
Was gonna say that!
Westworld. It is a brilliantly self-contained first season with nothing more needed. The subsequent seasons are worse but do not detract.
And Heroes, of course. That was just a mess.
Heroes, hands down.
The writers strike really fucked that show up.
True detective
Altered Carbon. Not that I disliked season 2, and I hate that it got canceled (as most sci-fi shows do…), but it felt like a very different format.
Was going to say the same thing. The first season wa s incredibly cool and felt original. The main actor was also perfect for the role.
