I think we're on opposite sides of this spectrum. For me, it's a step down in writing. Not as bad as the "Sons of the Silent Episode" (worst watered-down Mirage episode, pun intended) but pretty atrocious.

EIGHT new characters are introduced (the Tribunal plus the four human acolytes), given little to no true character development, and then unceremoniously killed off in just a few episodes. For "shock value."

That, and all the spirit stuff... it's too heavy for me. TMNT works best when it always one foot firmly in each world, and this season completely left ALL non mystical story arcs and characters.
