Do you prefer Power Rangers dark or light?

Over the course of the franchise there have been dark, serious seasons like RPM and In Space, while there have been light hearted and comedic ones like Ninja Storm, but what do fans prefer? Or do you like a mix of both?

It depends on the season. For me the issue is not so much "light" or "dark" as trying too hard? E.g. I can see why some people feel that certain shows try too hard to "force" comedy and wacky moments (although it rarely bothers me) but conversely there are shows like RPM, which thought that if it made fun of the conventions of the franchise and made it clear that the writers knew how a Power Rangers show is perceived, it somehow made RPM better than "just" a Power Rangers show. It didn't.

I prefer the show to be dark but only to a point.
