      Audience Reviews for Doctor Who: Season 9

      • Jan 03, 2023
        Fantastic performances and perhaps the best Doctor Who episode ever (Heaven Sent). Steven Moffat, Peter Capaldi, and Jenna Coleman are a great team!
      • Oct 01, 2022
        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.
      • Jul 26, 2022
        Incredible series. Heaven Sent is one my favourite episodes.
      • May 10, 2022
        This is a great season, but I feel it took a pretty big turn and I'm not sure why. Peter Capaldi went from the professor who didn't care about other people feelings, and became more of a the crazy uncle rock star with a coke habit. Making there a reason for him to constantly be wearing sunglasses really pushes this, and I just don't understand why it had to be done. I thought Capaldi's character in the last season was great, and this was was OK, but just a big shift for no reason. "The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar" was a great intro to the season for me, bringing back Missy, a character I really enjoy. "The Girl Who Died/The Woman who Lived" introduced a neat new character, but you don't recognize the importance of "Me" until you see her several episodes later. "Heaven Sent" is another episode that lets Capaldi get solo screen time and show how good of an actor he is. Overall, I thought this was a really good season.
      • Apr 24, 2022
        I'll start by saying the doctors who actor hear fits well as is a talented actor just a shame the story's he given to play are bad.
      • Apr 05, 2022
        Loved Capaldi and even Clara, she was much better than Bill, at least she wasn't droning on every episode about her sexuality!
      • Jan 09, 2022
        Weaker plots/flow than the previous season....still good but not like the first 7 seasons of "new who" (and 8 was weaker but better than 9)
      • Aug 29, 2021
        Fantastic. Loved this show since I was a child, and still did up until now. Unfortunately a disaster was approaching. Chris Chibnall, you know who you are.
      • Apr 04, 2021
        I think this was the best season of Capaldi era. And episode Heaven Sent the best of all Doctor who 57 years.
      • Dec 29, 2020
        Again, a wasted season. Episodes like Face the Raven and Heaven Sent show us what Capaldi and Coleman could have done together. Heaven Sent is maybe the best episode of the whole New Who, just pure acting. Too bad Capaldi isn't supported by great writing, and it's acting alone keeps the season alive. Too bad.
