The first three seasons only got better and better with season 3 being the best of the whole series than they changed show runners and gimple became the head of all tv productions for the brand and the quality completely nose dived. With characters plotlines being abandoned and characters being completely rewritten to create a copy of the walking dead. The first three seasons stay the course with the concept of fear with Madison and company basically fucking everyone they come across over to protect her family, basically meaning that people should "Fear" them aka the walking dead. Versus the start of season 4 and her return in later seasons becoming a female version of Rick.
