The problem with this methodology (using IMDb ratings to compare different seasons and shows to each other) is that every show is going to see a "ratings bump" when people who are disinterested or dissatisfied stop watching and only the die-hard fans are left watching and rating.

Same with movies, like how the Venom movies have higher Rotten Tomatoes scores with each installment, despite getting worse as they went along.
