11 Beloved TV Shows With More Bad Seasons Than Good

2. Marvel's Netflix Universe

Although it got off to a cracking start, with the excellent first season of Daredevil and the masterpiece that was the entirety of Jessica Jones' initial run, Netflix's Marvel universe started to come apart during Daredevil's sophomore season.

After four stellar episodes focusing on the titular hero battling The Punisher, the latter half of the season completely shifts gears to focus on more supernatural threats, arbitrarily splitting Matt from the rest of the cast and lumping him with Electra for the remaining episodes.

From there on, every new show that followed was worse than the last, with Luke Cage showing glimmers of hope in its first half before squandering its potential, Iron Fist being a complete write-off from the get go and the long-awaited Defenders failing to meet expectations.

As it stands, Marvel's slate of Netflix shows are in desperate need of a course correct, but at least there's Jessica Jones season 2 and The Punisher dropping soon to hopefully bring things back around.
