Why are so many of the best episodes in season 1?

Doing a rewatch and just finished season one. I didn’t realize so many memorable episodes were in season one. So many of the episodes I think of when I think of the show are these episodes. To name a few: About a Girl, Majority Rule, Mad Idolatry. I could name almost every episode in the season because they all are memorable but I’ll stop there. It is such a shame this show is slept on. I tell everybody I can about this show and I’ve only ever had one person say they’ve heard of the show. They never watched it just that they’ve heard of it. I really hope all these season four rumors are true and it actually happens.
