Doctor Who's 12th season is a radical step in the right direction.

It was from the off just big blithering fun, as were the best of the Bond movies on which this two-parter is based:.

Observer (UK)

Still, that's the delightfully winging-it nature of Who continuity, and this serves to set up a story arc that could take us right back into the history of the Time Lords. Count us intrigued.

  Last season this show hit the rock bottom. This season it took out a drill and went even lower.

  I really tried to enjoy seasons 11 and 12, but it all became so soulless that, for me, the doctor died with Capaldi and sadly failed to regenerate.

  Amazing! So much better than the last and keeps improving!

  The season goes from bad to worse. Two too many companions and a Doctor who's main talent is pulling stupid faces.

  I have had more fun reading these reviews than the Dr has given me this season thus far. Actually typing this whilst some crap monster waffles about some nonsense in a time zone and universe i really could not care about :-( Jodie ( although an amazing actor in other roles) and the story lines are just not holding the screen for me.

  I don't think my review was ever even posted after I submitted it. Chibby needs to Giddy up on out. That's the jist. His vision has clearly failed. This isn't a matter of an audience unwelcoming towards change. It's an issue of poorly written dialogue, a poorly casted ensemble, and a misunderstanding of the genre. And let's be realistic, Doctor Who became it's own genre over time. It has been misplaced, and that's what's off with this and the last. There's nothing clever about any of Whittaker's run so far. It all sucks.

  Where did my last two reviews go for the first 3 episodes, seems they got deleted. Well, i will post here again. The first 2 episodes were ok, spyfall 1 & 2. I thought doctor who would pull itself out of the swamp it got it self into in season 11 which was the worst i have ever seen. Well what did i watch in the last episode 3, Worst episode ever in the history of doctor who. Bad acting, poor plot, too many cast members running around with nothing to do. Please get rid of a couple of companions, Yes & Ryan, need to go, Leave the old guy, what ever his name is, lol. i can't even remember their names, because i don't like their characters. Anyway, hope next episode today is better. if not they should fire the writers and show runner an hire somebody that can write for Doctor Who....what can i say, I have been a long time fan since it aired in 1963, same age as me, think it aired day before i was born or the day after. I know Doctor Who and this season hasn't started out well.
