Massively disagree with Prison Break.

Season 1 was amazing and after that, it all went downhill...

This isolation is clearly getting to me.

Great shows with crappy opening seasons?

Game of thrones is funny too

Up until the last series (not saying all the previous series were bulletproof) I could rewatch episodes en masse

And even at the beginning of the last series I was excited. Getting up at 5am to watch the battle of winter fell was possibly the most excited I’ve ever been for a tv show. But once Arya did what she did and that was it a part of me died inside and I can’t even think about Game Of Thrones without wincing and it’s dead to me now

GOT died with the night king.

BBC gave it 5 stars (I guess it would tbh)

Has 75% on rotten tomatoes. Sounds like it’ll be as good as the previous 2 - I hope at least

Tabloids seem to like it. Broadsheets seem to slate it.

I'll be watching anyway. I am sure it will be gripping stuff, as usual.

True Detective had a great first season. Wouldn't say the second season was crap though and I haven't seen the third one.

Trying to think of a tv drama that stays strong all the way through, beyond s4 or 5...

Tbh, if you can't wrap up a story before that, it probably wasn't worth telling in the first place. Padding out successful shows to chase advertising revenue is always going to ultimately be self-defeating.

How about they start making some shows with actual staying power.

They have a huge problem with maintaining levels. Many start faay and then fade. A lot of series endings are really crap.

Red Dwarf - great for a couple of series. Now that dead horse has been well and truly flogged.
