I started rewatching Grimm (2011) this week, and I think it has one of the top Pilots to start off a series.

I always like Naked Gun TV series openings as they always killed the guest star.

Walking Dead
It also had a great trailer.

This Is Us

I second Walking Dead. The show took a major dive immediately afterward though.

I remember watching the pilot, and it felt like a feature film, I didn't even continue lol.
(Joined in again when Negan appeared, and have been following since, but it's not that great.)

SEASONS ONE THROUGH THREE AND BITS OF FOUR ARE GREAT...IT IS EXTREMELY HIT OR MISS AFTER THAT.

That for sure! I don't even like zombie shows.

The pilot mini-series is more like season 0. You don't wanna skip it.
