4/5
This entire episode was camply amusing, Jodie Whittaker getting better all the time. I'm still waiting to be scared, though. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede AV Club Oct 29, 2018

A scary, funny, unexpectedly moving episode that solidifies our thrown-together TARDIS crew into an official TARDIS Team. Go to Full Review Ed Power Independent (UK) Oct 29, 2018
3/5
A rip-roaring bug hunt sure to induce a cold sweat in anyone with a creepy crawly phobia. Go to Full Review Alex Baldwin Cultured Vultures Oct 9, 2019
There's no massive overarching plot or mind-blowing new concepts here, but it's good lo-fi horror storytelling that's safe for the whole family. Go to Full Review Debbie Lawrie Film Inquiry Apr 2, 2019
Leaving us with loose ends in this way, the episode either has a bad ending as a result of lazy writing, or could have deeper implications, perhaps lacking closure in the same way we lack a resolution for real damage to our ecosystem. Go to Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Jan 27, 2019
2/5
Rosa wasn't subtle, but it was sometimes beautifully told. This was so heavy-handed that it came off as preachy, and didn't even give us anything good to go along with it... Go to Full Review Read all reviews
