Parts of it are good. There's a lot of episode-to-episode and arc-to-arc variation. Opinions: Ahsoka starts out frustrating but gets better; Anakin is less terrible than in the prequels but still frustrating and episodes that have little to none of the chosen one are generally superior and this is also true of Padme; Jar-Jar is still horrible but he's only in a few episodes; Asajj Ventress is a scene, episode, and series stealing whirlwind but doesn't get enough time (and her arc had to be concluded in other material because those episodes didn't get made); Grievous remains a lousy villain and Dooku isn't much better, but the series creates a number of serviceable antagonists such as Cad Bane. The clones themselves, when they get the spotlight, are really quite good.

And the series is still canon, and as such is actually the source of a lot of Legends EU material being carried forward into the new canon like the Witches of Dathomir or Zygerrians.
