We often talk about shows that decline over time (Westworld, Suits, The Walking Dead), but I’m curious about ones that stayed consistently great or even improved.

I’m thinking of shows like Breaking Bad and The Americans, where each season built meaningfully on the last and stuck the landing.

What other series would you put in this category, and what do you think helped them stay strong all the way through?
