The only real dud season he did was 20. 19 was solid and 21 was one of the best seasons classic Who did.
The only thing in common is the companion numbers and a Doctor Who doesn't have all the answers. But Jodie's era has well and truly hit 6th Doctor territory. RTD's next series is, for all intents and purposes, Season 24.
