Jennifer Zhan New York Magazine/Vulture May 28
3/5
Despite what the Rani says, this episode is just exposition. The main action is clearly being reserved for the second part of the finale. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede Episodic Medium (Substack) May 25
What works about this episode is when it’s weird and abstract and disorienting in a Twilight Zone-y way. And what doesn’t work is, well, everything else. Go to Full Review Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jul 28
The framing on this episode hurts something fierce. Davies loves finales that are all about the world being wrong. Go to Full Review Asyia Iftikhar metro.co.uk May 28
For those who loved The Silence in the Library two-parter, Amy’s Choice or 73 Yards, Wish World will be right down your alley as we get the opportunity to see our companion in a totally alien setting (pun intended). Go to Full Review Robert Anderson IGN Movies May 27
3/10
“Wish World” represents the worst instincts of Doctor Who’s Disney era dialled up: glossy, confused, and screaming for attention. It’s a limp cocktail of shameless lore dumping, shallow storytelling, and a truly baffling sense of self-satisfaction. Go to Full Review William Tucker But Why Tho? A Geek Community May 27
6.5/10
Doctor Who Season 2 Episode 7 is an odd one. It’s difficult to settle into, and the lack of energy makes it uncomfortable and stifles movement. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
