A rare example of a show having only one director is season one of True Detective with Cary Joji Fukunaga. You could really see the results, every episode is perfect. I’m surprised it hasn’t been done more after that success.

Twin Peaks The Return as well

Sam Esmail with THREE seasons of Mr. Robot too, many episodes of which he was the credited writer. A pretty insane feat

38 of 45 episodes. Mr. Robot is a rare example of a show that was completely wedded to showrunner vision from beginning to end.

I just mentioned this in a comment on this post...but Mike White wrote and directed every episode of White Lotus.

Another pair of examples are the two science fiction series by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, Dark and 1899, with Baran bo Odar directing every episode of both series and his partner Jantje Friese writing or co-writing every episode.
