It's pretty early on to get a good feel for it. I'm still in the "love the old Dr/hate the new Dr" phase that usually happens with each new regen. It's heavy on the SJW shit, but I mostly enjoy the actress so far. She's gotta stop holding the sonic in that goofy way when she uses it though. It's annoying.

JFC, they're going to kill the series.

Not sure what the complaint is. The New Year's episode gave me more hope for the next series/season than any other episode. I thought it was a good, interesting new take on the Daleks. One being that dangerous was kind of cool after years of swarms of Daleks being the threat. Could I have done without some of the angst with Dad during the first half hour? Sure. But it sure picked up in the second half. Solid ep.

It was an improvement however Jodi doesn't really evoke any sort of threatening personality when confronting the Dalek. There was way too much Bad Dad in the episode as well. BrExit and the shutdown of UNIT along with all of the stupid white males dying kept in tune with the season pattern.
The doctor scanned the male character however the female character which had seen the squid didn't need to be scanned? I hear it's going to be another two years until we get more Doctor Who. That's fine with me. |

I suppose this could be old news, but we discovered the Pluto TV app on our Roku and it has a classic 24/7 Dr. Who channel. There are a handful of commercials, but i've been enjoying it....

I got a few episodes into this season and then just gave up. It was during an episode where it was revealed that global warming had turned humans into slow moving lizards that breathed carbon dioxide.

Really? They just had to go with Dr. Ho and kill off a perfectly good franchise.

It was pretty bad when they had Dr Who say that Rosa Parks changed the universe but I kept watching. Finally did give up as the show itself never got any better. Weak characters, poor writing, their accents are pretty horrible, and the Dr herself is pretty lame. Not the actress. She's fine, but she has nothing to work with.

I really enjoyed it as a kid in the 70's. Tom Baker is 'my' Doctor. But the newer series caught my attention and I have enjoyed it. The show has been going downhill since Capaldi's second season. I thought he did a great job but the material was pretty bad. And now Jodie Whittaker is kind of stuck on a bad show. They got some backlash and came out saying that they were going to 'double down' on the bullshit. The people who run the show are just using it as a virtue signal platform and it sucks. They're running it into the ground.
