I mean who comes up of how the cinematography should looked like, the tone, characters, production design, etc. from a script for a show? How do they maintain the look, because television have different directors for each episodes, so how do the directors know what to do for the show to have a consistent quality?

Typically the tone or look of the series is decided in collaboration between the Executive Producer (commonly called The Showrunner) and the Directors of Lighting and Cinematography. Episodic directors will be in charge of elements of the specific script they are directing, and will have some say in lighting or camera work, but ultimately the final decision would come down to the showrunner.
