Well the president of NBC at the time did. She championed the deal at NBC, gave them the budget they needed and was going to put them in the coveted Thursday night ER spot.

Then she was unceremoniously fired, the network dropped all marketing for the show, and moved it to Sunday nights, which was basically the worst night for prime time network TV viewings (which is hilarious considering now that’s HBO’s big night for their prestigious shows).

This doesn't bode well for the Indian remake starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan I guess. Though the Russos are just producing it, the show runners are Raj & DK who are superb

So many shows start off amazing but go on far too long and/or can't stick the landing at the end.

As far as complete shows from start to finish that are nearly perfect, I'd have to say Breaking Bad or Six Feet Under.

For individual seasons? Dexter seasons 1-2, GOT seasons 1-4 and Battlestar Galactica seasons 1-2 are about the best television I've ever watched.

My issue with The Handmaids Tale is that every season, the first 7 or 8 episodes, nothing happens except long drawn out closeups of Elizabeth Moss.... and then the final two episodes are OH MY GOD THAT WAS AWESOME I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON LET'S GOOOO!!!!

.... and I fall for it every time.
