The three episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that he first premiered in weren't that bad, but I wish I could say the same thing for the show as a whole. The show is an embarrassment the Kamen Rider Franchise as a whole, not only its original counterpart Kamen Rider Black RX. It was so bad that Ishinomori-san (Kamen Rider's creator) had nothing but bad things to say about the show and quite frankly I don't blame him.

This is a plot synopsis of the show from the Kamen Rider Wiki:
The series began with the main character, Dex, escaping the Plague Patrol with a small group of Edenoites rebels, before leaving for Earth, the next target of his sinister uncle Count Dregon, who ruled Edenoi with an iron fist after displacing Dex's grandfather, King Lexian, who also gave Dex the Masked Rider powers (where the powers came from is a mystery, although apparently they have been in use for some time by Edenoi's champions). Arriving on Earth in a massive crater, Dex finds himself in the care of the Stewarts, a multiracial family consisting of a white father and daughter (named Hal and Molly respectively), an Asian wife (Barbara), and an African-American son (Albee). The addition of an extra Stewart was not noticed by anyone (as, according to Albee, he and Molly are adopted) in Leawood, the town in which the series took place. Dex defends the town as Masked Rider from Count Dregon and his vicious Insectovores.

Saban's Masked Rider, Dex |
Here is a clip from Masked Rider....the most famous scene of the series....for the wrong reasons.
Would I recommend Saban's Masked Rider to anyone? Simply put, no.
If you want to see this series you are better off watching Kamen Rider Black RX, the story flows better and makes more sense. If you want to experience a good rider series watch Black RX...and this coming from a person who's only experience with Black RX was in Kamen Rider Decade.....
That's saying something.
So ends my look into Saban's Masked Rider. What are your thoughts on the show? Comment below.
