  "summary": "Some Netflix series experience a decline in quality, making the viewing experience less enjoyable. For example, The Walking Dead has lulls that require patience to get through, and the show becomes unwatchable after Andrew Lincoln's departure, according to Polygon. Similarly, Lost lost its edge with the introduction of flash-forwards, and Stranger Things suffered a decline after season 3.\n\nPolygon mentions that these declines can disrupt the overall experience of watching a series.\n\nTom's Guide discusses new releases across various streaming services, but does not specifically mention Netflix series that maintain their quality throughout.",
