Comment on What are some examples of series that only have a good first season, and should be dropped after that?

Bleach.

Season one, an otherworldly intruder accidentally ropes some kid and his friends into fighting monsters, in a grounded modern setting with a distinct sense of comedic realism.

Season two, they went to Namek.

Hard disagree. Bleach was advertised as a dumb battle shonen when it’s main achievement is the lore and art. There’s still plenty of good stuff after the first season, and basically none of the worldbuilding is done by that point

  The who-is-stronger exposition dumps are the problem. I don’t give a shit about Soul Society - that’s not the show I was enjoying. That’s just what it became, for endless repetitive nonsense, after the formulaic-but-distinct first season made a ton of money.
  
  If there was no first season - if it actually had been advertised on what’s in the second season onward - I would not have finished a single episode. Total apathy. But because I cared about what it was, and hoped we might get more of that, I still feel betrayed.
