Series that are only worth watching the first season

Most of the series we know start from the bottom. Ordinary characters experience something unusual and embark on an adventure that gets more and more complicated with each episode. However, there are other productions that start from a very powerful premise, and fail to maintain the level over time. All the series that we are going to talk about next have more than one season. However, it is better stand at the end of the first:

Prison Break

Five seasons and 90 episodes. But if what you are really interested in is having fun, with the first season you are going to shoot.

The premise of Prison Break It’s as absurd as it is funny. The brother of Michael Scofield he is unjustly sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and ends up behind bars in a maximum security prison. Michael, convinced of his innocence, decides to rob a bank to end up in the same jail as him and thus help him escape.

Of course, Michael has a plan to get away with it, because it was precisely the architect who designed said prison. With the plans tattooed all over his body, he gradually breaks through the security of the prison until he achieves his goal.

the fun of Prison Break it was precisely see how he escaped from jail. And that’s what’s really cool about the series. Once we see them outside, it is difficult to stay in front of the television.

For thirteen reasons (’13 Reasons Why’)

The story of Hannah Baker It must be the only one in history that is as necessary as it is unnecessary. necessary, because the first season hooked us in front of the screen and an important melon opened. For the first time, suicide ceased to be seen as something that the selfish do, since everyone we feel each and every one of the reasons Hannah couldn’t get on with her life.

The first season of 13 Reasons Why He had enough guts to talk about the harassment, the irresponsibility –or negligence– of some “professionals” in the institutes, and even the barbarities that some teenagers can do. it was a season unpleasant but necessary finally to open your eyes.

However, it should have stayed there. The second season was already noted as something left over. But we are already in the fourth season. Extending the series does nothing more than blur the good work that was done in the first 13 chapters.

[Nota para el lector: recuerda, aunque haya 13 (o 130) razones para pensar en el suicidio, nunca es la solución. En España existe el Teléfono de la Esperanza (717 00 37 17) y una web con información (https://telefonodelaesperanza.org/). No estás sola, no estás solo.]

Westworld

Westworld

The first season of Westworld grazed the perfection. The episodes progressed, but we were seeing the same events over and over again. And all to discover that we were as innocent as poor Dolores.

Unfortunately, maintaining an outstanding level is not easy. Hence, the following seasons were quite disappointing by losing the element of surprise.

True Detective

On paper, see Matthew McConaughey already invited us to think that True Detective It would be one of the best series ever. Although Woody Harrelson should not be detracted from either, since the two made a spectacular pair.

True Detective It was the result of combining a macabre detective plot, psychologically completely destroyed detectives, and some very good actors. The series then went on its way, but by removing these two characters from the equation, the Nic Pizzolatto series lost all its charm.
