This is a pretty good season, but I feel like it lacks most of the charm that has always made Power Rangers special. The plotlines are often overexplained and the focus is on things sold as toys. I know it has always been a commercial for toys, but that hasn't always been the main attraction.
As for the LGBT couple, it is great that they are finally representing such a marginalized community, but it's kind of enraging that it took 29 years. In addition, the way they did it feels kind of forced. They just drop several not-even-subtle hints and the next thing you know, there is a relationship. I wish they would just play it the way they have played every straight couple.
Also, in Season 2, it often feels like they are simply reusing old ideas and characters because they've run out of ideas. It feels like the franchise is losing its spark, but it has fallen and gotten back up before, and it can do it again.
