I liked the first 3 seasons, then it really dropped off for me.
So many shows just can’t sustain quality over time. Even West Wing, which I loved, just wasn’t the same after Sorkin left, although I do think it got better again at the end.
Of the recent shows I’ve watched, I’d pick the Americans, partly because it stayed so damn good until the end. I was late to join the party and am grateful that FX stuck with it despite the poor ratings.
