Why do so many shows with great first seasons stumble in the second?

I’ve noticed a pattern where shows with amazing first seasons somehow lose steam in the second. Like, is it pressure from the network, or do writers just run out of ideas after the big season 1 arc? What’s the deal here? Anyone else have theories on why this happens so often?
 
Totally feel you on this! 🙌 I think it’s a mix of both—networks want to top that first big success, and sometimes writers get stuck trying to keep up. Plus, they might’ve poured all their best ideas into season 1!
