I dunno, I'm just not feeling it, imho. It's not terrible, but it felt very bland, dull and uninspired. Every "story arc" (if you want to call them those) feel like worse rehashes from better seasons. Red Ranger has missing parent(s)? Wild Force and Dino Charge did it much better. Levi's imprisonment felt very similar to previous similar sixth ranger imprisonments in Wild Force and Dino Charge. Galvanax's hunt for the stars is literally the exact same as Sledge's Energem hunt. Even the ending of the season is exactly the same as the ending of Dino Charge's first season finale, with the destroyed ship cliffhanger and a "new" villain rising. It just feels like they're trying to copy Dino Charge without much of an identity of its own, and I don't feel they really added any unique flavors or much of a new spin to anything I mentioned above. I'll admit the game show aspect for the villains is something new, but they could've done a lil more with that. The only somewhat interesting things they did story wise were robo Aiden and Levi being the real brother, but even then I don't think they did as much as they could with those. 

Character wise, the rangers aren't really all that interesting. I'm having a hard time even really writing anything about them, they just feel so bland with the exception of Levi. Mick is okay though, probably the best mentor in a long time. The villains are also painfully boring. Galvanax was a terrible villain who put me to sleep the entire season. Odious should've just been the villain from the beginning, and even then I don't care for her as much as most fans. The acting is mixed, neither great nor terrible. Also Victor and Monty are terrible and useless characters.

The season was overall just really boring and dry. It feels like PR has entered an Al Jean era. Maybe the Super season will improve and surprise me (haven't watched it yet), but so far I'm not impressed. And with how the previous "Super" seasons have gone, I'm skeptical. More to power to you if you like it though.

Yeah. As someone who's writing a Power Rangers fanfic himself (albeit one that's darker and with more mature themes), I can say that Ninja Steel is...OK, but it just rehashes ideas. It feels more like they just wanna focus on the fights. It feels like season 1 of PR: MVF to me, man...and I'm just comparing it to my own work not to sound egotistical or anything, but because I've kinda been in that boat before.

Sure, I understand there needs to be "meat" so that episodes, while formulaic, can be interesting, but it just feels lazy rehashing stuff that's been there before.

Wow, they're still going with Power Rangers? I did not know that.
