The Cheat

The peaks and the valleys. Find the essential episodes — and the ones to skip.

Each point is an episode, plotted in order. Colored bands mark season boundaries. Look for the rise, the plateau, or the decline.

High votes + high rating = beloved classic. High votes + low rating = notorious stinker. Low votes + high rating = hidden gem.

One point per season. Smooths out the episode-to-episode noise to reveal the bigger arc.

Did each season build or fizzle? Green means the finale outscored the premiere. Red means the opposite. Longer arrows, bigger swings.

How steady is each season? Tightly clustered dots mean reliable quality. Scattered dots mean a wild ride.
