What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Can You Hear Me?" has plenty of ideas and some decent spooks, but good intentions can't carry an episode to a satisfying conclusion.

Charlene James delivers something more, with a rare chance to explore the internal lives of Team Tardis. Go to Full Review Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) 02/11/2020
4/5
From nightmares in 21st-century Sheffield to monsters in 14th-century Syria, this deeply creepy adventure represented a welcome return to form for the troubled series. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede AV Club 02/11/2020

"Can You Hear Me?" has good intentions, but in an era where TV shows are now regularly offering nuanced explorations of mental health issues, this episode's celebration of humanity's powers of perseverance comes across just a touch too generic.

4/5
A fun story, with some very old school villains and a very current day message about a very real issue. Sadly the ending was a bit crap, but I still enjoyed the story overall. Go to Full Review Alex Moreland alexmoreland.co.uk 02/13/2020
8/10
Despite its flaws, Can You Hear Me? is one of the best episodes of Chibnall-era Doctor Who - and, hopefully, will be a model for the upcoming Series 13. Go to Full Review James Whitbrook io9.com 02/11/2020
Where this episode threatens to fall apart most is in its structure and the realization that Doctor Who is regularly stretching itself thin to accommodate the perspective of three companions that... still feel like people we barely know. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
