What is your best example of a show that has a great first season then gets woke or a show that pulls a bait and switch? For me I’d say Westworld and as a prediction I would say the Netflix Conan show will either be great in the first season to lure viewers or he will have a female sidekick who is much better

The "I'm gay and you should know it" episode of Killjoys might be the biggest down point, but it was already weird and not very good by that point.
Season 1 of the Flash was one of the best seasons on TV, IMO, so it's fall from grace really took it's time over the course of every episode after that.
Legends of Tomorrow was a pretty big jump from the last episode of season 1 being a great redemptive arc for a villain, with a genuine comic to screen battle, a serious heroic choice by an excellent main character, then season two puts the worst person in charge because she was a woman, and decides she's an over the top lesbian who want's to captain kirk the timeline.
But, LoT wasn't exactly a shining example of great TV, it was over the top campy fun from the beginning.
My dad watched Legends of Tomorrow but stopped due to the lesbian character. He has reached a point where he is tired of lgbt having to be in everything
It was so ridiculously shoehorned in. One of the most blatant incidents I know of.
Arrow had given her a "bi" background already, but she had only showed interest in men in every appearance before that. Including season one of the same show. Then ep 1 of season 2 and she's like a completely over the top flirting and trying to sleep with every woman who appears. To the point of like, destroying the timeline. And she's supposed to be in charge!
