Kiva isn't a bad show by any stretch, there's certainly things to like about it but as others have already stated it's an incredibly flawed show, its a lot like watching a train wreck.

I'd compare it more to Apollo 13. The mission starts out pretty good everything going the way it should, but then some unforeseeable error happens (in this case the base Kiva suit being a detriment to the suit actor's health) or an oversight occurs (like introducing and ignoring the Buroon Booster, ShuDoran, Ramon and Rikki's character and weapon modes, Fake Fuestles) and the crew work to try and get everything running correctly again, but some things are too late to remedy and you have a trip that was very bumpy but everyone survives and there is still a grand success to be had.

It takes some headcannoning and a level of "Yeah... But who cares? It's still a kids show made to market toys, take it seriously but not THAT seriously" to get past it. Note my constant bringing up of Wataru probably having severe self-loathing issues and an identity crisis as part of his character or me honestly not caring about stuff like there being a time portal that the old King could have used to kill as infants all those who want stop him.
