4/5
Isn’t it exciting when Doctor Who pulls an old foe out of the vault? This time around, the writers have gone way back into the archives and pulled out a goodie: hello, the creepy invisible monster from Midnight. Go to Full Review Isobel Lewis AV Club 04/28/2025
A-
That original episode had a frenetic energy that this current era of Doctor Who, with its high budgets and slick look, will never be able to emulate. Yet the same terrifying tension building is emulated, continuing the show’s strong streak. Go to Full Review Jennifer Zhan New York Magazine/Vulture 04/28/2025

Doctor Who cleverly plays up the horror elements in “The Well." It’s well-paced and damn terrifying. Go to Full Review Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jul 28
The difficulty with bringing back a being so frightening is that it’s always diminishing returns after the first run. Go to Full Review William Tucker But Why Tho? 05/18/2025
