Toby R @ready13567 Sep 27, 2026 A series of Doctor Who that is poorly written throughout, with tedious storylines, and a terrible attempt to rewrite the origins of the Doctor - an origin that retcons most (if not all) that was previously understood about the Doctor's backstory. See more Sam F @Suspiria98 May 22, 2026 One of the most exciting and fun seasons of NuWho. Jodie Whittaker is phenomenal in the role, bringing pure joy, enthusiasm and excitement in each scene. The season starts with Spyfall with the fantastic Master reveal at the end of part one which genuinely shocked me. There are so many other brilliant stories this season like ''Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror'', ''Fugitive of the Judoon'' and ''The Haunting of Villa Diodati''. All 3 of those stories had me excited and engaged. The weaker stories of the season ''Orphan 55'' and ''Praxeus'' I found extremely enjoyable and fun to watch, even if the writing was not as good as I would have liked, they still served as fun episodes. The finale for the season I personally adored. I think finally giving some lore and added mystery to the Doctor after 12 seasons of NuWho was great and I personally enjoyed the Timeless Child story. See more Rick D @RIckD468 Sep 13, 2025 Yes, it seems that an army of Chibnail-haters decided to sabotage the ratings for the Jodie Whitaker years. Too bad. Personally, I had gotten so sick of Moffat that I stopped watching altogether halfway through the Capaldi years. With a new showrunner and a new cast, I was interested to see how it worked. I'm baffled that anybody could prefer Moffat to Chibnail. And it's not that Moffat cannot write. He's an absolutely terrific writer, and if he operates within bounds, he can produce great stories. At least half of the best NewWho stories are his. But he also does some really bad things. The worst thing is that he overuses the "Reichenbach Falls" plot twist. I mean, it was certainly excusable in "Sherlock," since that was the source material. But it became ridiculous in the later years of his tenure on Doctor Who. "Rory is dead! AGAIN!" Amy is dead, River is dead, the Doctor is dead, Clara is dead, Ahildr is dead....but none of them is _really_ dead. Get a new trick, Moffat! So he turned the moon into a giant egg, contradicting the rest of the series lore. By comparison, Chibnail's relatively tame stories are wonderful. Whitaker is terrific as the Doctor and 2/3 of her companions are top tier. And, personally, I like the stories. See more Spooky Crumbles M @RT04214221 Sep 17, 2024 Jodie Whitaker’s talents are wasted, as the show is poorly written, boring, and painfully unfunny. The Doctor’s charisma and wit have been siphoned from the character due to Chibnall’s questionable decisions during this era of NuWho. See more Rilf Danielson D @RilfDanielson May 13, 2024 No consistency whatsoever. Lore doesn't matter anymore and every scene needs some sort of draw to THE MESSAGE. See more Robert M @RT26987910 Dec 6, 2023 A prime example when you set rules and then brake them 12 min later. Bad writing and execution. See more Read all reviews
