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.
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.
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.
This is why I have my three to six episode rule. If a TV show cannot capture my interest in three to six episodes depending on its run time, whether it’s an hour or 30 minutes. Then it’s not worth my time. If a TV show cannot prove to me why it’s interesting or worth watching in the same amount of time that a movie takes to tell a complete story, then what’s the point of even watching it?
Yeah I’ve had people that try to get me into anime and they’ll say some shit like “it’s really boring but after season 7 ITS AMAZING, oh and also season 192 is the best”
“If you just suffer through the first 9 episodes it gets REALLY GOOD!”
Yeah or I could not.

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