What is the state of current Big Finish Doctor Who?

I used to keep up with - and enjoy - the monthly ranges until they turned into the boxed sets which I was less engaged by. I recently tried Stranded and didn't like it at all.

I get the impression that BF is producing far too much material which isn't a good as it used to be. Is this the case?

The Classic Doctors' stories made much more sense when it was a four-part story told in half hour chunks. Just like the old days. I think it was a mistake to move away from those, especially as there doesn't seem to be much meta-storytelling in the box-sets for those Doctors. Or if there is, I'm missing it through lack of involvement.

McGann and subsequent Doctors suit the box-set format considerably better. I'm especially enjoying the Jonathon Carley War Doctor sets, and the War Master is always a good time.

Another thing: I'm Elevened out. Please let's give him a long rest. He was a good idea, but the novelty wore off years ago.
