    There is basically no series that increases in quality over the seasons. Some wave a bit but if you don’t like it in the first few episodes you won’t like it later.

    Almost every series decreases in quality after each episode. Game of Thrones. Great series in the beginning a bit slow in the middle and badly rushed in the end. The end is ok quality.

    Lost great concept medium quality. Should have ended after season 3.

    Steins;Gate amazing first season. Very sad second season. Third season only for real fans.

    Gintama… Well gintama is gintama and there is no rating hate it or love it, no in between.

      Idk, I think it depends on the type of show maybe? Or the presumed prestige of it. I feel like a lot of procedurals I’ve watched get better once they get their legs under them. They not bad in the beginning but once the characters have been established and the writers get the hang of doing crime/mysteries they get more fluid.

      Better Call Saul was one that I found started slow but eventually I was hooked, after two or three tries to get into it.

      Many Star Trek series take some time to find their tone and pacing. Granted, some never manage to do so…

      I forced myself to watch through the first season of Breaking Bad, the second was meh, but starting from the third and until the end it became the best series I ever watched. The same happend to a friend, he wanted to stop watching, I told him to go on and at the end he loved it.

      Better Call Saul also got better as episodes went on.

      The Foundation series had terrible pacing in the first season, and they massively improved on that in the second.
