1. Still unclear!
2. It took a complex plot about secret societies and ritualistic pedophilia and then reduced it in the final minutes to this one bad country guy doing bad things, and THEN added a bunch of hokey bullshit about like looking at the stars. Awful. Ruined a ton of the magic of the first season for me.
3. There was a joke about S2 in our wedding vows.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm thinking of something like The Leftovers; while it didn't make my top 5, I'd probably put the show's third season into the top 2-3 seasons of television I'd ever seen. I'd be curious how people's views of single seasons of shows align with their favorite shows, period.
Yes someone made that thread already. But I don't remember what they called it.

How about the shows that maybe would have made your list, but they went off the rails and you quit them or they just ended badly?
Newsradio - Man, I loved this show, but then Hartman’s wife killed him. Lovitz didn’t do it for me.
Just Shoot Me - For a few seasons, it was my favorite. I just stopped. No idea how it ended.
Scrubs - Same as Just Shoot Me.
That 70s Show - When Topher left, it went south fast.
Lost - God, the first 3 seasons were amazing.
Modern Family - For a few seasons, it was great.
Walking Dead - For a season, I was obsessed.
Sherlock - which reminds me, I love Elementary.

ehhh, S3 isn't as good, but it's still doing the same things it always did. It just kind of gets old

I’ll round this out later but #1 on the lists is Fresh Prince.
Both lists.
