The only season that I really considered above average was the 3rd season. The first season was decent enough to get me to watch it (although at 12 or so that wasn’t hard) but didn’t really offer anything spectacular. The second season featured a cast of extremely unlikable characters and degenerated significantly half way through, leading to a rather lackluster ending. The third season however, instead of re-hashing the original like the second season, changed the premise of the series entirely. The series featured far more science-fiction elements than it’s previous fantasy-oriented incarnations, sported a more limited but far more likable cast and was in general far darker and thoughtful. By the time they got to the fourth season though, they had obviously run out of ideas. Not only was the basic plot recycled from the first season but the removal of ‘partner digimon’ made the series too similar to every other ‘children with superpowers’ anime/cartoon out there. Plus most of it was just plain f***ing stupid.
