#this is a very bad one-rant-per-day habit I've developed and I honestly hate that I open the tag and see my stupid rants all over

People complaining about Rex solving a case all on his own on S07E02 have totally missed the point of the show. This is the point of the show, Rex being a superdog. If you want a regular K9 and regular police work, go watch a K9 documentary or something. Again, Hudson and Rex is an adaptation of Kommissar Rex. In just the first season of said show, a few weeks after they've met, Rex goes out and brings Moser’s breakfast from a bakery and a deli in Vienna, then brings him his newspaper, and Moser is like, what, no coffee? Because that behavior is considered normal. In another season, Rex finds a case all on his own, interrogates the perp all on his own and brings him to his human partner just for the confession and the arrest.

So no, Hudson and Rex had not “gone downhill”. You just fail to grasp that this is the doggo show and you cannot be critical of that part if you truly understand what this show is about. There have been parts where the show has tried to take itself seriously and those are the parts it should be judged for but if you’re not willing to suspend your disbelief regarding the dog part, then this show is not for you.
