Re: At What Point In A Show/Series You Liked Did You First Feel Like It'd Gotten Less Good?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm also feeling sad right now because I feel like 2x01 of Ted Lasso was subtly but pervasively different from the entirety of S1. S1 of Ted Lasso is an absolute gem. I couldn't love it more. It's borderline perfect, IMO. But then 2x01 just felt...off, somehow. It felt like the show was actively trying to be itself?? kind of? Also, it felt like the ethos underpinning the whole thing was kind of muddled and forced. IDK if the writers started second-guessing themselves, or if there was studio interference, or if a particular writer quite and was replace by someone else. I just know 2x01 didn't feel the same. It was 98% the same, but that other 2% made a big difference. Now I'm hesitant to watch anymore, because I kind of want to just remember S1 the way it was.

Personally I feel like B99 lost something when it switched networks after S5. The shift wasn't extremely obvious, but it really effected my enjoyment. There was just something missing that had been there before.

As soon as promo material started coming out about S3 of BBC Sherlock, I was pretty sure it was going to be awful. Then I saw Many Happy Returns and was like, yup, it's gonna be awful. And then it was completely awful. In hindsight, S1 and S2 weren't that great. The show was messy and inconsistent and self-satisfied, even in its prime. But up to the end of S2 it managed to skate along on its good qualities for me. As soon as I saw the first bits and pieces of S3, that's when I was very abruptly aware I didn't like the show at all anymore.

It was actually mid-S4 of Battlestar Galactica before I really had a moment of, okay, the show isn't the brilliant thing it once was. In hindsight, it started losing its edge earlier. I still love most of S3 though.
