Venslas A @RT17655503 Oct 11, 2026 Definitely the best season of the Moffat era and the best of the Capaldi Era. The Season has a lot of the best episodes of the show, like under the lake, or the two-parter of the end of the season, it doesn't feature the worst characters of the Moffat Era (Danny Pink and River Song), and the actors, especially Capaldi, clearly give their best possible performance. That said, it nonetheless definitely suffers from heavy 'moffatisms' here and there, especially the very big issue of not being able to let a character die definitively, however important they may be.

Its so beautifully written and the whole season clearly displays the type of relationship the Doctor and Clara have with each other. This is the reason why she is my favorite companion, with Amy and Donna following close behind. Just peak writing, Moffat finally learned how to write episodes well and make this the best season of the show. See more Fan O @RT73657206 Apr 20, 2025 This season continues last season's exploration of the Clara and the Doctor, and ends with Clara finally stepping out of the role of Companion. Hell Bent and Heaven Sent are two of my all time favorite things... ever, let alone in the show. Every episode this season, except sleep no more, is a joy to watch. Although the Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived was underacted and perhaps a bit underwritten. Under the Lake/Before the Flood is some of the most sci-fi the show has gotten in a while, and while the characters are a bit hit or miss, I think they do hit more then they miss. This has a lot of the same little flaws as last season, like 12's lack of care going much to far in Under the Lake with the flashcards, but I can't help but love it all the same.

See more Jacob T @RT82961516 Jul 6, 2023 This season feels more mature and grounded than the last and makes for a great addition to doctor who. See more Wolfgang B @RT24521803 Jul 2, 2023 Not the strongest overall season but it has some real gold in it. The relationship between the Doctor and Clara becomes ever more unhealthy and codependent, leading to her making that big mistake which ends up costing her her life, and her accepting her fate and her mistake and facing the consequences of her acting without all the facts to hand is arguably her strongest moment in all 3 and a half years she was on the show. Then Heaven Sent is an absolute masterpiece, of course. See more Read all reviews
