Basically as long as the Turtles were in New York the show was good - a lot of the "anywhere but New York" and it was harder to watch.

I felt that way about Northampton, but not the space arc.

The canon event of the Northampton retreat is supposed to be slow, somber and reflective. Unfortunately the writers took the opportunity to take their penchant for horror pastiches to yet another level. They also fumbled the vision of Splinter at the campfire, which was odd because this show normally excelled at nailing emotional moments.

The space arc was fun, visually appealing and more or less in line with the story it was adapting. Just a fun adventure with them teaming up with Fugitoid against the Triceratons. Added bonus being there was enough variety and side quests that it felt like it dragged much less than its 4kids counterpart, even if that take had less episodes.

And Davis Tenant was incredible as Honeycutt.
