I can't imagine someone who'd never seen the original run seeing these and thinking this is a top-tier show.
Well, there were 10 episodes this year and only 3 of them were related to the mythology. Two of them were pretty bad but then again there haven't really been any great ones since season 5 or so when it all became convoluted and incomprehensible. I think you are over-romanticizing the initial run, especially the latter half.
The other 7 episodes were monster of the week variety and about as good as any random season. Some were stronger than others but all watchable and a couple were pretty great.
