This is not to say that seasons after the first one are bad, but sometimes I feel as though later seasons exist because of the show’s popularity and not because the creator had more to say (The Last of Us, even though I love Part II). Also, it’s okay to have an open-ended ending with loose ends, leave it to our imagination on what’s going to happen next (Westworld).
I think there are too many variables for that to be true. The Leftovers went downhill after season 1 and I would be ok if all following seasons never existed. However, I think Twin Peaks season 3 is one of the greatest things ever broadcast…and that came out 25 years after season 2
