your post implied that people are capable of independent thought and not emotional posturing. Look at how many people protested the Puerto rican day episode on Seinfeld then even admitting they had not seen it yet because it was automatically implied to be racist while never viewing the context for themselves. Not to mention how many shows today continue to be overly racist but so long as the character is POC it gets a pass. A lot of people claiming they want jstice and equality but seeking their pound of flesh in the process.

MLB has been one of the most frustrating. Back in the day we traded logins with friends from out of state just so we could watch local games.

It based off your credit card zip code. They’d use ours to watch local Marlins games because we were in Michigan. And we’d use their login to watch the Tigers since they were in Florida.

Awful’s often subjective. What’s considered awful by one person is considered decent by another. It depends on one’s tolerance levels.

An example is The Office.

Seasons 2-7 are among the greatest TV show seasons ever produced and written, but I wouldn’t call season 8 a hugely chasm-sized drop off (it’s solid, imo) and even season 9 has its moments, but both seasons definitely drop the quality a few rungs lower on the ladder compared to the show’s peak years.

Better examples of this IMO are True Detective and Westworld.

And to me the answer is no. While season 1s of both are among the best single seasons of television, you cannot ignore the following seasons and it affects how we think and talk about the show in hindsight, and how we approach recommending it to freinds and rewatches. I couldnt even vote for them on the recent r/television survey because of this.
