TV Shows That Had A Great First Season But Then Went Downhill


Recommended Posts

Posted

Once Upon a Time comes to mind. The first season or season and a half was great, but everything after that felt like an imitation of the once great show.
 

Although I love it, I don’t think Ugly Betty ever fully recovered from the writers strike and the run of episodes in season one was never topped.

Has the Jodie Foster season aired yet? It looked promising.

Glee world lol

 

(still a guilty pleasure all around though! but the New York scenes were just super rough and not as attention grabbing, a lot of it is SO depressing too if you think about it)

Korra doesn't deserve to be here. 3 & 4 are really good.

Revenge. What a phenomenal first season. The show deserved to be a limited series

I liked it too, but they kept using the same format of someone casting a curse or the characters losing their memories over and over and over. I never watched season 7, but they cast ANOTHER damn curse. :skull:

I honestly would say that Season 2 was far better than Season 1. Season 3 was a slump, the movie was quite good, the follow-up novels were good to, and Season 4 started great and then went downhill.

 

 

My overall ranking:

Season 2

The movie

Season 1

(gap)

Season 4 (first half)

Season 3

Season 4 (second half)

 

There are no plans for season 5, and after what happened at the end of season 4, I feel like I'm done with the franchise.

Eh. Season 1 was Peak. I think the series struggled to match it ever since.
