Tonight's Doctor Who is a turning point for the season.

"Extremis" [is] a marvelous piece of narrative legerdemain that manages to slip from religion to sci-fi to existentialism and back again, all interspersed with a separate framing tale about morality and fear and friendship.

There was typical Moffat wit and verve to the dialogue, which kept what could have been an overly complex episode fizzing along nicely.

5/5

This is such confident, breath-taking television from Steven Moffat. Peter Capaldi is totally commanding - a strong but nuanced performance week after week.

"Extremis" was bogged down by trying to do too much at once.

3/5

The problem with Extremis isn't in the watching of the episode though. The problem with Extremis is afterwards, when you stop and think about the episode.
