Is there a show that gets progressively better as seasons go on?
if you watch GoT backwards.

/got/ and /twd/
Gotham.
Mad Men, although the quality is a constant really, it can be argued it doesn't get better or worse.
Mad Men
Sopranos
any star trek series
>>69095102
he said better
Breaking bad
>>69095082
Vikings
The Sopranos is the only one.
Moral Orel is an example of something where the first two seasons (bar S2 finale) are really just an extended prologue. It's a widely held conviction that the third season is the best, but its because the first two seasons kind of lull the viewer with false expectations.
>>69095748
>third season
Doesn't exist, unfortunately
Black Sails, pic unrelated cause i dont have anything from BS
>>69095895
does is get better in season 3?
because i'm this close to dropping it since the quality drop in season 2 compared to the first season.
>>69095195
This, except for TNG.
It's not that the later episodes were bad (well, some were) it's just the first few seasons were superb.
>>69095082
Stargate SG1
Legend of the Seeker
American Dad
Mad Men, definitely
>>69095082
Is there a kino where crows smoke cigs?
>>69095958
Wow it thought it was the total opposite, S1 tanked but S2 was great
Anyway S3 had Ray Stevenson as Blackbeard so it owns by default
>>69095958
Season 2 is definitely better than season 1, so if you don't agree with me on that then I have no idea what you'll think about season 3 but I loved it.
the americans
black sails
the shield
also dont listen to faggot who say vikings it s getting worse
The Thick of It
>>69096002
I actually thought the first two seasons weren't very good. It got much better as soon as Riker got beard and the crew got collars on their uniforms.
>>69095082
Rectify, The Americans, and The Leftovers. What did i miss? Don't say Mad Men.
The Venture Brothers.
The only problem is that the seasons are getting progressively shorter and the gap between them exponentially longer.
I hope I live long enough to see it end.
>>69095082
Agents of SHIELD
Starts out boring, then around the time Winter Soldier happens it all goes crazy
>>69096112
The shield's a great shout. Best beginning to end arc in the business.
>>69096410
nah
I'm a big VB fan, but season 2 was definitely better than 3 and 4 although they were still good
>>69095958
>quality drop in season 2
Wot you on about m8?
>>69095082
Penny Dreadful seems to be a show that is getting better. I know season 3 just started but I'm pretty hyped for it from what the premiere showed.
The first season I only was watching it for Eva Green, it felt unfocused at first. The second got much more interesting but still took awhile to get going. The third seems to be already exciting and will have some interesting things planned (I hope).
>>69095082
your dads butt hole
>>69096494
Yeah that show lost all chill and the quality just kept going up and up.
Are you excited for the Season 3 finale?
ARROW
Highlander: The Series
>>69095140
This, season two is much better than season one. I took a break from watching season one because of the cringy dialogue and boring characters.
South park =)
>>69095102
twd...
gtfo
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
30 Rock
Eastbound & Down
>>69097630
casual pleb tier shows
TPB until season 9, then it went down hill
>>69097687
Name one thing on TV that couldn't be called pleb tier. Everything that airs on TV is highly accessible to the public. It's not like movies where they don't get wide release or go straight to DVD.
>>69097630
>Better call Saul
2nd season was even more empty and dull then the 1st..
The Sopranos
Deadwood
Mad Men
The Shield
>>69097782
Sons of anarchy bud...
The SopranosFirefly ;__;
>>69096494
It gets less boring but it's still awful.
>>69095082
The Wire, if you ignore season 5
>>69098776
you 'avin a laff?
>>69098776
SOA is more pleb than The Walking Dead
>>69096051
Dumbo
>>69095082
Seinfeld.
>>69096410
last episode felt soulless and out of character
>>69095082
Most shows peak around the middle.
>>69095082
Almost all sitcoms for first 4 or so seasons
>>69095670
I agree with The Sopranos (it's my favorite show of all time), but I think The Shield also fits this criteria.
>>69095082
The Simpsons
>>69100018
weak bait
moral orel
The Office
Dexter
Seinfeld
Curb your Enthusiasm
Mad men, it stays consistently good throughout, but the # of goat episodes increases per season
>>69097485
S1 is the exact fucking same thing
I can't think of any that I've seen, although I haven't seen some of the shows mentioned in this thread. I've only watched one season of Mad Men, so it's possible that one does.
I can think of many shows that come close, but even the best ones peak 2 or 3 seasons short of the series finale.
The Shield. Starts out pretty well and just gets better and better, ending in a great final season.
>>69095082
Stargate SG1 to a point then it falls off again
>>69096028
>Stargate SG1
No way, after O'Neil leaves the cast and generic Jock airman pilot joins it all goes downhill
>American Dad
Its been pretty bad lately, family guy tier random shit while making Stan act like Peter levels of unfunny autist.
Mad Men is consistent the whole way through.
Breaking Bad is the obvious one, although the last season gets a bit ridiculous.
>>69095082
Buffy till season 3. Angel till season 3. GoT till season 3. Strange & Norrell (only one season).
Vikings till season 2. Sherlock till season 2.
Maintaining quality after 3 seasons is really hard because all the best ideas where used already but the series still does good enough and makes tons of money so ending it is hardly an option.
Admittedly most times the quality drops slowly and not abruptly not to mention some times it's the viewer the one that fails to capture what the new direction of the series is all about.
Some of the best episodes of some shows take place on really crappy seasons making me wonder if the level has really dropped or if it was me not getting the point.
>>69095082
Seinfeld
>>69096494
the trick is to start really bad and everything will seem like an improvement
>>69102142
this. they really got their shit together during the middle of the show
>>69102142
>tfw on season 7 and it's slowly starting
Blackadder.
>>69095195
Not TOS
>>69097630
Breaking Bad went to shit after the second season though
the shield
>>69095188
>>69095190
someone needs to make a fan edit of madmen that removes the following:
>any scenes with the wife
>any scenes with the kids
>exception is times when they come to the office
>family life scenes of any of the characters outside of the office
>the new husband scenes
>scenes where draper is hooking up with those losers and finding himself
>scenes where sterling is ooking up with those druggies
>scenes where draper is hooking up with those druggies
>>69102514
yeah, you just don't get it
South Park
>>69099663
The Shield season 5 > season 6, so The Sopranos is still the only one.
Mad Men peaks in the middle imo.
>>69101694
It's not.
>>69095082
Red Dwarf
It gets better then it gets worse.
>>69102749
pls. Didn't the Sopranos seasons have their own Indy rule?
>>69102234
>>69102142
>>69102229
hey at least the Ori story arc has that super hot chick as the main villian, she is literally reason enough to keep watching.
also base Baal is always nice
