Probably Spartacus, even though the first few eps are terrible. Gets great and ends on a high note.
I like both seasons of Extras, but prefer the first season where Gervais is an actual extra.

Sometimes shows have an average/sub-par or just plain bad first season, but surprisingly pick up in their later seasons. Other shows have the opposite problem – they start off really good/great, but then struggle to match the first season quality in subsequent seasons. So, are there any shows where the first season remains your favourite? For the purposes of this thread, shows that only lasted a single season probably shouldn't count. Some shows that I really liked the first season of - but then didn't like any of the later seasons as much - are... Da Vinci’s Demons
Heroes
Reign
Revenge
There are probably quite a few I’ve forgotten, but these^ are the ones which immediately spring to mind. I’ll probably add more as I think of them. Heroes is the gold standard for this. Amazing first season, Season finale that started showing the cracks, then nothing but downhill from there.

That’s a hard one Chalice ‘cause a lot of my favourite seasons aren’t the first but some that come to mind are
Everything Sucks (It has only had one season so far but I loved it. Does that count?) Sanctuary (The show was never as good after Ashley was written out) Agent Carter Heroes Dark Angel Bitten Tru Calling The Greatest American Hero Some Mothers Do ‘Av ‘Em TJ Hooker Ghost Whisperer Cagney & Lacey The Black List Secret Life Of Us Moonlighting Close to Home The Dead Zone Charlie’s Angels Brothers & Sisters

Just finished Community's first season and it was pretty strong.
Can;t believe I missed out on the show this long.

I liked the whole run of Desperate Housewives and Dexter, but I think the first seasons were the very best.
