The stories in this season see a pretty serious downgrade from those we were treated to before, they are still fun to watch but are missing that spark that made the previous seasons so great. The only reason this score isn't lower is Capaldi himself who like Matt and Tennent before him brings something new and great to the role. Capaldi makes the role his own showing his skills as a phenomenal actor.

I absolutely hating this season. I have nothing in particular against Peter Capaldi, but it's such a strong switch in character. David Tennant & Matt Smith we're both very whimsical, fun doctors with a lot of character and compassion. They also both could turn very serious when the time came. Peter Capaldi on the other hand is just dark, brooding all the time. Monotone, scary and angry all the time it seems. I get the vibe that he just hates life and hates himself, and hates everything. Look, I don't know about other doctors (only know David tennant and Matt smith really), and of course I am extremely biased, but the fun whimsical 'non-seriousness' of this show is what made it so much fun. This was an absolute train wreck of a decision having Peter Capaldi cast as the next doctor. Honestly, I feel the stories are ok, I just think the show was soooo much more fun with the previous two doctors. TLDR; Peter Capaldi sucks as the doctor. If you watched the previous doctors at all, you will likely hate him. If you have never seen Doctor Who, you might enjoy this season.

A lot of people started not liking Doctor Who starting with this season. While the PC and Woke mindset was obvious in this, it never felt like a distraction to me, and I thought it was overall really good. Peter Capaldi did an amazing job, and I love his version of the Doctor, caring about every person but not wanting to be nice to them. I thought "Missy" was amazing, and while this character being female bother some people, I 100% feel she did a better job and was a neater character than the previous actor in the role. There were some amazing episodes in this season as well. "Deep Breath" introduced Capaldi, and while it wasn't a perfect episode, his ranting speech in an alleyway to a vagrant was pure gold. "Mummy on the Orient Express" was a mystery thriller at it's finest. "Time Heist" was entertaining, and I loved the idea of making a heist episode in Doctor who. "Listen" was also an amazing episode, allowing Capaldi some solo screen time to really solidify his character. I also really enjoyed the two part season finale was also very well done and I really enjoyed it. Overall, I thought this was a very good season.

Loved Capaldi and even Clara, she was much better than Bill, at least she wasn't droning on every episode about her sexuality!
-
This was when the show began to weaken...good but no longer great
-
A very good season. Mummy being a real highlight
-
I would love to rate it higher, but some of the episodes were just really, really bad. For example, I just couldn't stand the two characters in the first episode and just quit watching it. I kind of assumed the rest of the episodes would be like that, but I was pleasantly surprised by episodes like Mummy on the Orient Express and Flatline. I have not watched all the episodes in the season, but the ones I mentioned are quite good. Peter Capaldi is definitely the best part of it though. I prefer him to the goofy Matt Smith, however, I still like the Christopher Eccleston and David Tennet better.

Disappointing and rather jarring transition from the previous Doctor. After several seasons of some of the most compelling characters and story arcs in the franchise's long history, season 8 is awful in comparison. The season just seems to wander aimlessly and completely abandoned the mystery of Clara arc. The near 180 degree turn in the Doctor from compassionate to coldly indifferent is hard to accept. It's almost like the writers tried to eliminate all the viewer empathy towards the characters that the previous seasons had worked so hard (and successfully) to build. Any viewer expecting arcs like Amy Pond, Rory, or Riversong will be sadly disappointed. Even the build up of Clara's arc seems to have been tossed aside. This season seems to have no depth, no emotion, and very little to offer to draw viewers in. Simply an awful season overall.

I love Peter Capaldi Doctor. He is more complicated and mystery and dark Doctor. I absolutely love stories in this season.

Right out of the gate you can tell the Capaldi era isn't going hold up next to the last 3 iterations of the doctor. If your addicted to the show and a long time fan like i am it will pass the time but i warn this season is a pretty big disappointment next to most Doctor Who seasons. Listen may be the worst Doctor Who Episode ever written.
