It does feel like that. My only experience as a writer is as a DM, but I really think I put more effort and thought into it than the writers of the show. For example, I'm currently writing a story set in a cloak and dagger, musketeer style universe. I wanted to set it in Venice during the Carnival and I took inspiration from the play The Impostures of Scapin by Molière, so I decided to make it a kidnapping story. From there several scenes came into my mind, I chose those which I liked the most, and then I went to link them into a coherent little story. Now I have to "fill the gaps". By that I mean that I must make sure characters motivations, actions and words all make sense within the story. "Can they do that? Would they do that?" This kind of stuff. I personally think this is very basic, but RoP writers don't seem to even do that.
Someone asked me why I didn't like RoP, expecting to trap me in some politically charged argument. My answer was simple "really bad writing". They couldn't argue...
They're ruining beloved franchises on purpose. $1B budget should be producing shows like Sopranos, Ray Donovan, or Preacher. But behind the scenes, Bezos likely wanted in on the big push in Hollywood to morph the masses this generation(as they do every other). But it's easier to just believe these "elite" writers are just inept, woke, or stupid. When they're actually malcontents, and there is malice in place of misperceived ineptitude. They're making it bad on purpose, unilaterally. You want an illustration of that look at Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal" and pay attention to what the Skeksis did to the Podlings.

Yeah the show sucks they never cared, funny thing is everything is already written for them and they still failed
