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.

Firefly.

Yeah, I'm going there.

Was gonna say that!

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Heroes, hands down.

The writers strike really fucked that show up.

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.

[–] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

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.

True detective

The Head

Season 2 is borderline unwatchable

I think Mandalorian Season 1 was way better than Season 2 (haven't watched Seasonn 3 though to be honest).

It steadily got worse, so you don't have to bother. Episode 3 is the only highlight, and it's basically all a side plot.

The Mandalorian: Season 3, Episode 3

On Coruscant, former Imperials find amnesty in the New Republic and attempt to adapt to a new way of life.

That was Mandalorian? Fir some reason I thought that had happened in Andor

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Probably because it added something interesting to the universe.

Most of the Marvel shows that were good (not saying they all were) were only really good the first season. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage... Even Loki. Second seasons were ok-to-poor where the first seasons were all really strong.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 16 hours ago

Disagree with Loki. Fully agree with Daredevil though, but many will disagree there too.

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.
