If season one was about falling in love, season two is about being in a new relationship – with all the love, trust, jealousy, support, chemistry, codependence, and over-the-top giddiness that entails. Go to Full Review
Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 06/15/2018
I'm not absolutely sure that "Army Of Ghosts"/"Doomsday" is the best of the five Russell T. Davies-penned finales, but it's definitely the one that is most solid in its construction. Go to Full Review

Doctor Who Season Two (or Season 28, depending on your anal-retentiveness) has been a string of entertaining highs and lows, in terms of both quality and intensity. Go to Full Review

Emi M @anxiouswholockian Jan 31 Ending of the season broke 9 year old me like wtf 😭 See more Patrick S. @Patrick239 Jan 16 Great it is also great to watch in the evenings before bed See more Giuseppe V. @JU1C3B0X3R Nov 8 David Tennant was born to be The Doctor See more Joshan K @RT09646605 Aug 22 This season has it's highs and lows. 'The Girl In The Fireplace' stands out to me as one of the best episodes, wheres 'Fear Her' stands out to me as one of the worst. See more Nay N @Sliceoflife Jul 14 A few bad episodes in this season. I'm not hating on the season but it definitely needed some work. The special effects are slowly getting better but not quite there yet. David Tennant is such a delight! I truly enjoy him as the doctor. See more Josh H @RT75812188 Jun 1 Season two ends not with a bang but a pathetic wimper. With this seasons concepts and visuals were better than last season. The writing is absolutely horrendous. The character of the Dr is a bad cosplay at best spending every episode crying or calling everyone babes. I actually truly hope that it's over. End Dr who it's like a corse and needs to be put to rest! See more Read all reviews
