Even in great shows, not all seasons are created equal.
Amazon has recently begun to challenge Netflix for the crown of best original streaming content.
We decided to pull data from reviews aggregator Metacritic to find out which seasons of Amazon hits like "Transparent" and "Mozart in the Jungle" had the best ratings, and how they compared to new arrivals like "The Man in the High Castle." We left out shows aimed at kids and ones resurrected from other networks.
