People are going to disagree with you, but yes I think it lost a little momentum. Season 2 is an 9/10 or 10/10 it's very very funny

It's still really funny and there is always a moment to enjoy in an episode, don't get me wrong there. Just seems to be missing something. Maybe it's the fact that there seems to be no .. risk of the outside world in these later seasons. Like normal humans are an merely inconvenience now, but early seasons they seemed to go out of their way to mask their movements/etc and avoid unnecessary contact. I'm probably overthinking things too lol.

Yeah not sure what it is exactly... I fully expect it to keep getting better and better anyway

I thought getting rid of Colin Robinson for a short-time was a miss play. Colin Robinson didn't get the most laughs from me but definitely the biggest.

Yea Baby Colin was kind of a miss but I know some people loved it.

Agreed, definitely the worst part of the season. But I think it was the result of them basically keeping an open ended script with every avenue to get rid of literally any of the cast members but they all stayed. So we got some weird loose ends from S2 that had to be tied up very quickly.

I'm speaking almost entirely out of my ass, but I have a feeling it's because Jemaine Clement stepped back after season 2. I LOVED the first 2 seasons but also noticed a decline in the writing in season 3 and especially 4. Jemaine has no writing credits after season 2.

It seems like a somewhat common thing in the industry because I noticed a similar thing with Rick and Morty. As Dan Harmon pulled back the writing for that show took a nosedive.
