i don't understand this show's popularity

i don't understand anything's popularity
It is a case of old fans liked the old stuff, it rebooted and started off cheesy but it continually got better and word spread and people watched it

Then Russell T Davies left as lead writer and the show tanked horribly, and ever since it's just kinda been this thing that's been around and big due to Davies, but not at all worthy of a comparison.
crazy how one person can carry an entire show
that's what a showrunner/creative lead is

Dan Harmon, Vince Gilligan, David Lynch, etc
but you'd think the remaining writers/replacement(s) would've learned a thing or two from him

apparently not

apparently people are completely and utterly helpless, and may as well not even be there

that's not weird to you?

As evident from S4 of Community, or mid-S2 of Twin Peaks that's not usually the case

The other writers just can't match the tone and style of a passionate master of their craft

Acting is one thing, but when you're crafting the entire script, dialogue, and everything else along with writing, yeah. It really can.

I love you, son.
RTD wasn't that good. Peak Moffat was better.
