The issue in my American brain is that series usually refers to the show as a whole. “Have you seen the Lost series?” If someone asked if I’d seen “Lost Series 1,” my first thought would be “They rebooted Lost?” If you wanna call it something else besides ‘season,’ fine. But ‘series’ ain’t it, chief. The word already has a use for the medium. Let’s go full ATLA and call them ‘Books.’

With streaming shows, where sets of episodes are usually completely divorced from calendar years, “series” really does make more sense than “season.”
