What are some examples of series that only have a good first season, and should be dropped after that? (lemm.ee)

Before you all kill me, this is just like my unpopular opinion man, but Futurama.. The first season, well maybe the first two, were amazing, clever scifi parody but the premise wore thin and it became schmaltzy and unfunny. It became more about the characters and less about the world and it suffered for it.

I mean "should have been dropped" might be a bit strong.

That is an unpopular opinion, but valid. I still haven't finished the Hulu run yet. It doesn't hit the same.

While I enjoy the later seasons, I can broadly agree with your point.
