When it's bad... Let's just say I'm not dwelling on the negative cause if I did, I might never finish the series. But when it's bad, it's terrible.

For example:
- I've found some of the child of the week episodes unbearable.
- This being the 80s, the monsters monsters are rubbery trainwrecks more often than not.
- The giant robot fights are almost entirely stock footage (and they're over in the blink of an eye).
- The pacing is wildly inconsistent.

But when you account for the time period in which it was made and the low production values, the show is really impressive so far. Hell, if you compare it to equivalent seasons of '80s Doctor Who, Maskman is more enjoyable on almost every level.

I will say, flaws and all, it is INFINITELY more engaging than Magiranger, which I'm still semi-hate-watching for LWW.

The fan who likes Jetman and can get past its attendant contextual baggage would probably get really into Maskman.
