First a little disclaimer: Judging from some of the replies in this thread, I feel I might have misused the expression "Lost its edge" a little bit. I did not mean the show used to be darker and edgier than it is now, but that the show currently does not display the quality it used to.
Given that English is my second language, I might have used the expression wrongly.

I can really relate to that. You just keep having faith in that it will good next season, only to be disappointed yet again. But somehow, you don't want to just leave it.
While Sentai (and Kamen Rider) is my main fix of live action costumed superheroes, it is still disappointing to see the favorite franchise of my childhood creating such mediocrity.

There's this sense of incompetence behind planning out and executing the newer PR shows that I don't think was there even at the franchise's worst. A lack of solid direction that brings everything down despite promising enough foundations. Things are getting better bit by bit, but I'd really like it if a show came along that just suddenly elevated things all at once instead of gradually elevating them through exhaustive trial-and-error. I haven't been legitimately enthusiastic about Power Rangers in over half a decade now and it's freakin' lame. I really don't think there's anything actually STOPPING them from making a good show at this point besides lack of talent and/or passion.
More or less how I think about it. One of the main reasons why the new seasons disappointing me so much, is because the majority of earlier seasons show it can be much better.
And the show does indeed feel a bit directionless. While Dino Charge set up this interesting conflict around the Energems, along with the storyline about Tyler's father being missing, Dino Supercharge fell flat, as it became a really episodic show. As if the writers of Dino Charge were suddenly replaced with rookies during Dino Supercharge.
