Gonna start with Band of Brothers. I think I could rewatch that ever year or two and never tire of it.

I actually hadn't even heard of this. I've now watched a trailer and am very intrigued.

None. But there's some perfect episodes/close to perfect seasons, for sure. Cowboy Bebop does really good through its whole run, but the ending felt rushed.

Breaking Bad did mostrly good through its whole run, but its ending felt rushed.

Game of Thrones was good, but its ending felt rushed.

The first seasons of the Mandalorian were good, til they rushed back the characters reunion too quickly after splitting them up.

Basically all the best shows do really good, but at some point are out of runway and have to stop sooner than they wanted.

Squid Games was really good, but honestly could have been paced even tighter than it was, and it was paced tight.

So yeah, honestly no perfect shows. Pacing is the biggest problem usually.

Evangelion, maybe?

1883 and 1923 (the Yellowstone pre-main-series-shows) if they count. Both were excellent. Lawman Bass Reeves too, all Sheridan shows.

Id mention Rescue Me as well. Start to end, fucking great.

And, at least so far anyways, The Boys.

Surprised to see people list Ted Lasso when it seems most fans say seasons 2 and 3 kind of suck compared to season 1.

Deadwood

We live in a great era for TV, with lots of great shows. For the most recent example, Shogun might earn a perfect title when it is over, it is so good.

Over the Garden Wall is so great. My family gathers to watch it every year around Halloween.

I'll second the recommendation of Babylon 5. There will probably never be a more cohesively written show that can last that long-- JMS wove everything together so well because he insanely wrote 65/66 episodes for the last 3 seasons.

Also,

True Detective (season 1)

Not gonna recommend the other seasons, but as a supposed anthology show where the newest season doesn't even have the same writer/creator anymore, they all don't really count as a single show.

Oz

this is a great answer. It didnt suffer from the bizarre scenarios the last couple seasons because the show being ridiculous was part of the fabric of the show. Also it couldnt suffer from main characters leaving because people dying off and fresh inmates coming in was always part of it.
