Mm. Dead Zone. Smart Writing.

If a show has an incredible pilot, it can only go downhill.  If the pilot is shaky, the show can find its legs as it progresses.

The Dead Zone television series had a really great pilot and though there are a few "okay" episodes, most are quite good, and some episodes will hit that same high as the initial pilot

I loved The Dead Zone when I was a teen...I watched it pretty much from season 1 to 5 as it aired. Recently I wanted to do a re-watch of it and I just couldn't get in to it. I barely made it past season 1. :/

that's understandable. Part of the joy of the show is trying to figure out where it's going and the building of suspense, but if you know how it all ends, I can see where it can't hold your attention. I had the same problem with the X-Files. D: I loved that show, but rewatching it (or trying to watch episodes I missed) is slightly painful. Which is why I switched over to The Dead Zone, to try and break up the tedium.
