I'm pretty sure they know that TDAS was bad, they would have to hide under a rock to not as much as the fandom complains about it. I don't think it's necassary to remind them every five minutes that it was a bad season because i'm pretty sure they know already. Since they basically disposed of the main elements and events of TDA I could see them doing the same with this easily, since TDA wasn't nearly on the same level.

And for the record following up TDAS with a new-cast season was a pretty good idea, to take a break from all of the problems with TDAS and have a better season fresh in people's minds, making it easier for them to tackle said problems.

Yeah. I wouldn't go as far to call Pahkitew TDI standards, but it was a major improvement from TDAS and TDROTI.
