No one "hates" season 1 per se. It's just not as good as the later seasons. In season 1, the humour was a bit over-the-top, the designs were kinda ugly and the plots were a bit too juvenile, even for Cartoon Network standards. I also didn't like how Darwin was pretty much just Gumball's shadow in the whole season, Anais was just...there and Nicole and Richard were a bit underdeveloped. To be honest, the only episodes I liked in season 1 were The Meddler and The Dress. But personally, I don't hate season 1, it could have been a lot worse. It's kind of like how The Simpsons started. They started as only a mediocre show but didn't become a great series until season 2. But in season 3, Gumball became a more sophisticated show plot-wise and wasn't afraid of adding some dark comedy.
