Caroline Siede Girl Culture (Substack) Nov 26, 2023
After a stellar first season and a solid, if uneven, second one, Doctor Who’s third season is a bit of a conundrum. It’s a real “best of times, worst of times” situation, with some of the most iconic episodes of NuWho sitting alongside some of its worst. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club Jun 15, 2018
That's the simultaneous thrill and frustration of watching Doctor Who: You really never, ever know where this show is going to go next. Go to Full Review Ross Ruediger Slant Magazine Jun 15, 2018
One of the triumphs here is that the narrative finally makes some dramatic sense of Martha and where her place is in the series. Go to Full Review Arnold T. Blumberg IGN Movies Jun 15, 2018
9/10
Simm's portrayal of the Master as a dark reflection of Tennant's manic Doctor was, if you'll forgive the obvious pun, a master stroke. Go to Full Review Alexander Joenks Pajiba Jun 15, 2018
The supporting cast does its usual excellent job in the third series. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator May 7, 2018
Series three's final treat is that the Master is back, played this time not by the great Roger Delgado (obviously), but first by Derek Jacobi and then by John Simm. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Emi M @anxiouswholockian Jan 31, 2026 Martha high key deserved sm better See more Patrick S. @Patrick239 Jan 16, 2026 This season was not as good, what saved it was the final three episodes where spoiler returns See more Nay N @Sliceoflife Jul 14, 2025 Absolutely amazing! The doctor is still delightful with some serious moments. It's sad watching the show without Rose but Martha is a lovely lady and a great actress. See more Fan O @RT73657206 Apr 20, 2025 Season 3 is another brilliant season of a fantastic show. While season 1's fantastic overall storytelling got it 5 stars from me, this has some of the best individual stories, with Blink, Human Nature/Family of Blood, Smith and Jones, and it's finale. While it's less stand out episodes vary in quality, none are so boring as to lose you, and Martha never loses her charm. John Simm is a brilliant twist on the master that contrasts with Jacobi to give new fans the perfect picture of the character. See more James M @RT53838474 Feb 13, 2025 Just one of the best series of all time and great new companion as well. See more ben s @BlessedBen Sep 5, 2024 Some of the strongest episodes with only the dalek 2 parter mabye worth the skip. Tennant is fantastic as always and the ending of this series has such a good twist. See more Read all reviews
