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 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.

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.
