What to Know

Critics Consensus

After a season of swashbuckling adventures, "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" feels too familiar to truly satisfy as a Doctor Who finale -- but it does well enough to inspire hope that future seasons of Jodie Whittaker's tenure may pack more of a punch.

Ed Power Independent (UK) 12/10/2018
High-fives all around, then, and a bonus fist-bump to Chibnall for furnishing us with the chatty, natty, occasionally wacky Doctor we hadn't realised we needed. Go to Full Review

2/5
As with much of this series, it felt like a reiteration of things we'd seen before. Go to Full Review
Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly 12/10/2018
The return of a disappointingly boring villain undercuts the episode's effectiveness, resulting in a finale that's strong but lacking a little magic. Go to Full Review
Alex Baldwin Cultured Vultures 10/09/2019
There's really not much to say about the episode itself: beautiful visuals, great effects, but it's all looks and no substance. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lawrie Film Inquiry 04/02/2019
Overall, the finale successfully concluded the unresolved themes of the season for the Doctor's companions, but lacked any new depth to the Doctor herself, and we'll have to wait until 2019 for more TARDIS adventures. Go to Full Review

8/10
The stakes are at least high with Earth next on Toothface's list. And it takes some creative problem-solving from the Doctor to restore order to the universe. But it wasn't the big finish I was expecting. Still, Jodie Whittaker continues to shine. Go to Full Review
