Hogan delivers pockets of excellent content but has yet to prove that he can write a consistently compelling long-term story. There have been great individual scenes, great episodes & occasionally great weeks but the momentum is never sustained. Though his characterisation is generally solid, he's been too quick to sprinkle stories with campy gimmicks. I'm not sure whether this is just his style or he's trying to *fit in* with some perceived notion of DAYS' identity. But it means that stories that could be heavy on emotion and/or character-insight (eg. Sami's rape, Steve's mental problems, John's coma) too easily descend into farce.

I won't discuss the balance issue because it's been talked to death. That also factors into the rating.

You've read my mind LOL, I would grade and write the same thing.

OLTL is in a major slump now too sadly but I wouldn't give it (or any other show rather) an F. Maybe like a C- or D+.

IA with those who rate AMC a B+/A-. That show is on fire right now. And to think it was a D a few months ago
