The story is awful, the production value is awful, the pacing is awful. The reviews are dead on. This was so bad. I was willing to give Jodie Whittaker a hall pass and blame this all on Chibnall, but this is wrong on so many levels. The creature effects are straight out of the 80's. Is this really the best you could do? So shots on the deck of the ship looked like a high school drama production (all apologies to all the HS thespians). No depth, bad lighting, frankly embarrassing. The relationship? So forced, and without any build up, was frankly sad. Love affairs/flirting with Rose, Amy, Clara and River, but somehow Yaz is the love of her life (not to mention Queen Elizabeth, Marilyn, Cleopatra)? I'm not letting Dan off the hook either. Please bring back Graham.
I was really hopefully when Jodie was announced. One her first season was over I thought she would grow in the role. The season two trudged on, then another. Just never clicked. No talks about Peter Capaldi time as the doctor much but some of his episode are classics (Heaven Sent is a tour de force and his finest moment). None of the last three seasons even come close. I only hope RTD can breath some new life into the show. I'm not ready for this universe to end.
