I guess green screen was safer option than set, but they really did terrible job with it. As you said, story itself is a lot more important than the quality of visual effects but it can alienate some viewers. I can name quite a number of other TV shows with worse effects. This isn't a movie, you can't expect movie-level CGI.

And the ratings are steady. It's not unusal for numbers to go down with each season, it happens. Compare the numbers to other shows at this point in their lives.
