      Audience Reviews for Doctor Who: Season 5

      • Jul 06, 2023
        Matt smith is just amazing as the doctor, and a new change of showrunner help keep doctor who more alive than ever.
      • Jul 02, 2023
        Solid opening season for Smith and Moffat, albeit with it's share of dud stories. Regrettably the beginning of the Smith era's unfortunate tendency to make The Doctor the subject of a universal conspiracy, where secret societies are out to get him because he's just so super special and important.
      • Oct 01, 2022
        Matt Smith makes the Dr his own and does so very quickly his mix of humour as well as emotion make this era second only to the previous Drs run.
      • Sep 14, 2022
        Has a Doctor ever so perfectly owned the role so fast and so completely? I don't think so. Matt Smith was born to play this part. He's also a wonderful ambassador for the show, and a very kind and gentle man. I had the pleasure of meet him with my son while he was in the role, my son was in awe, and Matt was just beautiful with him.
      • May 10, 2022
        I think this may be the best season of the new doctor who. It reboots the doctor as well as all the companions and starts off in an amazing storyline with a bigger budget, or at least better effects than the seasons leading up to it. AMAZING!
      • May 09, 2022
        In my opinion not as good as season 6 but still a solid 7~8/10. It was FUN!
      • Apr 24, 2022
        Freshly minted No.11 Matt Smith and new showrunner Steven Moffat had a bigly big blue box to fill and happily knock it out the park into another dimension. Launching us off with The Eleventh Hour must be one of the strongest episodes of the new series to date. Matt Smith is compelling as he demonstrates why a 27 year old actor would ever be considered for the Doctor. The concluding two-parter is delightful in its darkness and whimsy and the final act is a beautifully written love-letter to anyone whoever dreamed of waking to find a strange blue box in their garden.
      • Jan 09, 2022
        Amy and Rory join the doctor. If the episode Vincent doesn't make you emotional/tear up then nothing will
      • Jan 03, 2022
        Matt's freshman season was a great introduction to the show. Made me go back and watch everything that came before back to 1963.
      • Oct 09, 2021
        Not a bad start for Matt Smith. The show has some good parts to it, but it also has "The Time of Angles" and "Flesh and Stone" which, in my opinion, completely ruin the weeping angles for me. But other than that, it's decent.
