I know doctor who has always had its good eras and bad eras but goddamn has it has not been good in a long time. Either it has a poor writer at the head or the cast is lacking and they can’t seem to get both those things right at once.
I’ve been enjoying the current doctor, and now I’m watching Sex Education because of him. I do miss the grittiness of David Tenant though.
I enjoyed a lot from the most recent Gatwa era. It has some bad episodes and the finale definitely didn’t work, but I think it had more good than bad.
Yeah Gatwa breathed a lot of life into the show for me after Whitaker’s run.
The overarching plot was eh but the individual episodes were a lot of fun. Which is more than I can say about the previous run.
Yeah, by the end of Capaldi’s run I was losing interest and I was excited for both a new doctor and show runner, but I couldn’t stick with Whitaker and dropped off halfway into the first series.
I did go back last year and give it a shot. Being able to binge it was better because the weaker episodes just scroll past until you get to something better. I think in the end it was fine, but difficult to recommend.
For Gatwa I was excited to tune in every week. I really wish he had gotten a third series.
