Trivia
The Sea Devils appear in two previous stories: The Sea Devils: Episode One (1972) and Warriors of the Deep: Part One (1984). They are cousins of the Silurians, who appear in several other stories.

Goofs
Some of the Chinese characters speak with a Chinese accent while others speak with a British accent. If it is assumed they are all speaking a Chinese dialect but it is being translated through the TARDIS translation matrix for the benefit of Dan, Yaz, the Doctor, and the audience, then they should all have the same accent, either British or Chinese.

Quotes
The Doctor: I mean, that's the problem with history, never anything like the books. Same as Stephen King movies

Actually hard to believe it's this bad

The CGI is like 90s TV show level. The chroma (colour) is off on scenes. The acting is b-grade level, the plotline is dull, the whole special is garish.

Chibnalls work has been very subpar, the writing terrible and Jodies acting as the doctor off with this new era, apart from an episode or two that stand out as 'nearly Who'. But this episode, wow, just wow. I don't know how anyone signed off on this. It's that bad.
