No, MM is not as good as it used to be but some reviewers here are deriding its multicultural turn to call it "woke." Funny how being awake is so upsetting to some people. The inclusion of people of color is a lot more understandable than keeping the lily white, blue-eyed cast of the early days. If you are going to criticize something, criticize the writing or the acting, not the color of the cast.
As for the cast, I'm not a Neil Dudgeon fan and don't like John Barnaby as a character. A lack of pep there, as if even Dudgeon (and maybe the writers) are getting tired of John B. If MM is to continue, it needs a revival, cast and stories.
