True Dectective season 4

There was a TV show Heroes that fits this bill. I never watched it but heard season 1 was phenomenal and season 2 was Tyrone Willingham bad.

Westworld. Season 1 was god tier. Season 2 might have been the worst television I've ever encountered.
-
If I remember correctly season 2 of that show was affected by the writer's strike. Westworld a good example of a show that probably only had season 1 figured out then just tried to figure out the rest as they went.

The timing sounds right for that.
-
Then season 3 came out
-
When season 2 of a show includes a scene in which a fembot kills a soldier by getting him horny and distracted during a gunfight between the soldiers and said fembots, I'm not even giving season 3 a chance.

This season had the bones to be good - harsh Arctic winter with a supernatural element to it. Jodie Foster is actually doing quite well despite being given an abortion of a script.
But that abortion is beyond saving. Beyond the convoluted mess that is the mystery itself and all the weak plot points that are supposed to somehow string it together, the entire tone of the show makes no god damn sense. Here we have six scientists freeze to death in horrific and unknown circumstances with suggested involvement from some kind of supernatural freak of a creature, yet no one in this town seems the least bit bothered. They might as well be investigating embezzlement.

I started season 2 and made it about 5 minutes into episode 1 before I was bored. I never started it back up.
Season three started with a hot chick cop in a conflict with a male cop because she wanted butt sex. That scored enough points with me that I watched and paid attention for most of the season. It eventually lost me and the last couple of episodes played out with me barely watching. I think they all died in the end.

Episode 5 picked it up and was better, and they probably could have cut out some filler leading up to it.
It's a decent miniseries by the standards of Sharp Objects, The Undoing, maybe a few others.
Max has thankfully and stealthily put out more Tokyo Vice to ease the letdown of waiting way too long for more TD.
Btw Curb Your Enthusiasm. Jesus. No wonder this is the last season.

I kind of even forgot about the scientist stuff. I knew things were bad when in the first episode every person was opening their sentences by saying out loud the other person's name or relationship to them when they greeted each other. That's like shit that will get your script thrown in the trash on the first few pages usually. The MMA fighter cop chick might be the worst actor I've ever seen in anything. Don't worry though the person who is running this season I think is blaming criticism of this season on mens rights trolls or some shit.
