I'd have to go with Blade Raider here though, what people mean by "good" is subjective. Whether this defines what is objectively "good" or not is another matter, but I think people usually use the term "good" to signify that they enjoyed it. So for most people "entertaining" is synonymous with "good", just like how I'd say my McDonald's quarter pounder is "good" even though by objective standards it is on the low end of the quality scale.
Of course, you could argue that words such as "tasty" or "relatively good for a McDonalds' burger" are better descriptors, but I think saying that it's "good" is sufficient.
Even if we're talking about objective good in terms of quality (without the inverted commas), I don't think we can all agree. I personally believe that there is an objective standard of good in entertainment, and for me that objective standard is whether it can entertain and teach a good message at the same time. (Decade probably fails at this, I don't know, I haven't watched the series proper) I know many people will disagree with me on this, though.
I did not take that into account, because this is arguing semantics.
However, do yourself a favor and just skip over Decade.

I have said this many times, that Decade shouldn't have been a true series, but a bunch of movies, like New Den-O, maybe even appearing in various series because of his nature.
While Diend was the secondary Rider, and Geist the sorta adversary...I thought Diend's brother would have been a better badguy with his world's big evil as the BIG EVIL. More use of the darker Riders as shock troops...and such. But in the end we have a runaway story so bad they cut it to 30 episodes, and we didn't even mind.
I love the figures, I love the concept, the equipment...but the execution...alas...
It's a shame. At so many points during my re-viewing I could point out a plot point that could guide the series in such a better direction, but they just stuck to Tsukasa and moved onto the next world, disregarding everything that just happened in the previous.

PS I may debate many things Matrix on many things, but man are Decade and DiEnd ugly designs. I don't think they're the worst Rider designs, but top 5 (at least for Heisei).
EDIT: Actually, I will debate that DiEnd's design is far worse than one four word sentence can do justice.
I do intend on watching Kuuga, really. It's actually going to be the next Rider series I watch, as Sentai is just disappointment after disappointment.
I'm glad someone else knows how bad the suits are, and you don't even need to debate it. I just didn't want to type out why I thought Diend's suit was ugly.

This man gets it.
