Its relentless plotting and exposition teeter on overwhelming, but a bold daringness to reinvent Whovian lore coupled with Jodie Whittaker's dynamic performance make "The Timeless Children" a successful season finale.

It's a jam-packed finale and the culmination of showrunner Chris Chibnall's most ambitious storyline yet. A few other characters and plot points get lost in all the big revelations, and the companions largely take a backseat to the Doctor's journey. Go to Full Review

3/5
This was another exciting and ambitious adventure, if a frequently baffling one. The Timeless Child reveal felt gratuitously portentous rather than profound. The script became bogged down with jargon about death particles, Cyberium and memory matrices. Go to Full Review

Jodie Whittaker gives one of her most visceral performances, as the Doctor learns the truth about her origins... Everything changes ... and yet as is always the case with this show, nothing really changes. Go to Full Review

Chris Chibnall's ideas are so insular, in both ambition and approach, that The Timeless Children ultimately makes Doctor Who smaller on the inside. Go to Full Review

7/10
A lot of this story is genuinely engaging - certainly much more so than last series' utterly dull finale - and a large part of that is down to the performances of Jodie Whittaker and Sacha Dhawan. Go to Full Review

"The Timeless Children" was a mostly okay season finale of Doctor Who that answered some mysteries and loaded us up with even more - but at least we got some phenomenal performances from Jodie Whittaker and Sacha Dhawan. Go to Full Review
