      Audience Reviews for Doctor Who: Season 12

      • Aug 29, 2023
        Who and why are they actively destroying every franchise in existence ???
      • Jul 28, 2023
        Best thing I've seen in a while, not for your typical white man grumbler audience, even if the plot written could've been much better paced the chemistry of the cast is undeniable, maybe that's why they're all angry about, after all none of the ones before have been such charismatic likable characters - all in one room, at the same time. Delightful.
      • Jul 22, 2023
        Definitely think the writers were juggling way too many balls this season but it was still decent.
      • Jul 02, 2023
        While the highlights of this season are better than anything s11 had to offer, it's bad stories are just woeful. Its season arc, the Timeless Child story, is obviously extremely controversial, and could easily have been fixed, as well as making the Master's turn back to evil make narrative sense, by having the Master be the Timeless Child but subject to generations of memory wiping, and the Doctor be Tecteun but likewise subject to the generations of memory wiping. There was already a Time Lors secret service existent within the DW canon (the Celestial Intervention Agency) and this could have been utilised as the explanation, possibly even bringing in Rassilon or Omega as the ones who instigated or insisted upon their memory wiping. What we got instead of that feels more like Chibnall's desire to prevent the possibility of a future writer following up on the so-called Cartmel Masterplan which was starting to take shape just as the original series was axed because he personally didn't like it. So to ensure it would never see the light of day he wrote something that's close to it in nature, but completely misses the point of it in theme and tone, and makes the Doctor basically a god from another dimension, more powerful than even the Time Lords and Daleks could imagine. Poor, Chibs. Very poor

        Ugh. A struggle to watch. Prefer going back and watching the first 10 seasons.
      • Apr 09, 2023
        Season 12 of Doctor Who is a perfect example of alienating your audience and destroying the lore of a long running and beloved show. I, like many long time DW fans, am going to pretend that Chibnall didn't destroy DW and act like this insult of a season never happened. Changing the lore in such a way is an insult to EVERYONE who worked hard on this show in the past 60 years. William Hartnell will FOREVER be the FIRST incarnation of the Doctor and the Timelords will have become what they are, not because of some Mary Sue Magic Child, but by Evolution as it has been well established. Whittaker did try her best, but again, with horrible writing there is only so much you can do. Perhaps she would have been a brilliant Doctor if under the helm of an actual competent writer/showrunner.
      • Jan 04, 2023
        This is a prime example on how to completely SHATTER the established lore that has been around for over 50 years. No one, and I repeat, NO ONE should ever have the power to do what Chibnall did. It's not only disrespectful to the fans, but to the show and everyone who previously worked on it.
      • Dec 26, 2022
        I've loved this show my entire life, but the last few years have been unwatchable rubbish. Its become more interested in lecturing it's audience than entertaining it. Im completely out until I hear its changed.
      • Nov 15, 2022
        Even worse than Season 11. And that season was so bad my family stopped watching the show regularly for the first time since the NuWho revival. On watching later on, was sad to see the reasons we stopped watching, poor writing, boring stores, miscast actors, etc… just got worse. Culminating in the nonsense finale.
      • Oct 27, 2022
        Probably the worst season of all... really bad
