Who’s latest series opener — unlike the poor old TARDIS — just about manages to stick the landing.  Go to Full Review Fiona Sturges Financial Times 04/11/2025

Gatwa continues to dazzle as the 15th Doctor, lighting up the screen in a red tartan bomber jacket, pinstripe kilt and signature mile-wide smile. His doctor is mercurial, charismatic and not afraid to shed tears... Go to Full Review Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/10/2025

This is Doctor Who exactly as you know it and love it, for better or worse. In some ways, it’s less of a Brand New Season and more of a continuation of the previous. Go to Full Review William Tucker But Why Tho? 06/03/2025

Doctor Who Season 2 is one of the most diverse seasons ever. This is true of the cast, the characters, the attitudes, and the episodes, too. However, there is a lot of sadness around how premature it feels to see Gatwa go. Go to Full Review Matthew Simpson That Shelf 04/27/2025
It’s difficult to evaluate an entire series from just a single episode—we only got a peek at the premiere for this review—but rest assured that if you like Doctor Who, this is fun Doctor Who. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Darren H @VidZid Feb 8 So we have to wonder how much these "Professional Reviewers" are being paid by the BBC to say this and any other season after season 10 are good, once she took over and didn't even do specials or full seasons and THE WOKE brigade started getting their claws into WHO it basically died, I am not blaming the actors as they do as they are told, however spouting woke nonsense and saying your bringing a show to a new audience is absolute rubbish. If you want to see proper Who, watch series 1-10 then stop so you are not disappointed. See more Ezi @MissEzi Jan 21 spoiler alert the doctor didnt get belinda home :(( See more Diego R @Blink40 Jan 12 What are not cringe inducing episodes are simply awful. Most of the episodes where watched thanks to sheer force of will, but I wanted to abandon all of them after the first 10 minutes. Last season had some (few) watchable episodes, but most of them were really bad. This season will not be remembered because it ask your mind to forget as soon as you finish watching. The acting did not improve in this season, probably Mr. Ncuti is as happy as the audience stopping being the Doctor forever. See more y y @RT12928172 Nov 22 Replacing Ruby as the doctor's companion with Belinda did not work for me. The grandiose evil plots are alienating me. See more John K @WQCMI Nov 13 Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, it did. Thank God Disney is no longer needed to make this series because they ruined it to begin with. Some episodes were good, but the finale felt forced and I don't understand why the BBC put Ncuti in this difficult decision. But the last two episodes ruined the whole thing, if the series wasn't reshot, I think it could've been decent. And please, for the love of God, stop bullying Billy Piper because she did nothing wrong and you all know it. See more Jonas V @RT67656553 Oct 21 Worst season of doctor who I've ever watched.
