UnwatchableIāve been watching Doctor Who for 37 years. Iāve not always loved each regeneration the Doctor has transformed into, but I never actually disliked any of the versions we have met. That is until 13 came along. I donāt get why the writers insist on treating the audience as though we have IQs in the mid 80s. JW acts like a kindergarten teacher. In my opinion this sets an extremely poor example for the first female Doctor. Would it have been too much to ask to have a character similar to River Song? Someone who presumes the people she speaks with arenāt imbeciles, can use deductive reasoning and observation to understand the phrases they have never heard before? One more thing: the companions. I get the feeling the BBC is having a go at all the people who have complained on social media over the years regarding the Doctor being a man, the companions usually being White (they never seem to remember Martha & Mickey), and the age of the characters on the show (which is absurd considering the Doctor Donna, Wilfred, Jackie, and River - not to mention all the supporting characters such as Harriet Jones, etc). That being said, the companions this season feel as though the casting department wanted to check every minority / age box possible. Itās actually distracting to have so many companions. After the disaster that was Clara, then the bigger disaster of Bill (extremely low IQ, and seemed only to be focused on sex, which was an insult to 20-somethings), I was shocked that the show runners thought this direction was going to make loyal fans happy. They should remember that Twitter isnāt reality. If it was, Trump would be president, Covid would be eradicated by a miracle, and the Nazis would have never killed more than 6 million people. Doctor Who is successful worldwide because the stories resonate with people no matter who they are, or where they live. Dumbing the show down in an effort to be more inclusive is an insult to everyone who watched the show for decades. DW isnāt Sesame Street, and nor should it be. Just as every other tv show produced wonāt resonate with everyone who watches tv shows, DW isnāt for everyone. And thatās okay. I just wish the show runners and the BBC would realize that..Score: 1/5
Well that could have been betterWith the final having come and gone, I can easily say this was the worst season ever. I know it was going to be bad from the very start with the way they closed the season 10 cliff hanger. She basically crashes through the ground and into a moving train going through a tunnel. She is a very smart alien with two hearts, not a super hero. Throw in non stop in your face PC agenda writing and you have this whole season already figured out..Score: 1/5

Worst stories and writing in the history of the seriesIt only took three episodes for Chris Chibnall to completely kill DOCTOR WHO -- a franchise that should have been unkillable. But his poor characterizations, and lousy storytelling finally succeeded. Please note I have no objection to a female Doctor. It's the WRITING this season that's been TERRIBLE. This is not DOCTOR WHO -- it's empty, vapid,and unwatchable. Wake me when Chibnall's been fired as showrunner..Score: 1/5
New series, new face(s)Been watching Doctor Who for the past 4 years (and caught up with many of the previous seasons after the reboot). I have been looking forward to this new Doctor, and I must say, overall good job Team Tardis, Fam or whichever name you settle on. The weaker episodes had issues with the pacing ("Ghost Monument" for example) or were an imbalanced mashup of ideas/genres/messages (umm, "Witchfinders"). Given the number of friends that are travelling with the Doctor, not everyone had something meaningful to do in each episode. But this was more than set off by episodes like "Kerblam" or "It takes you away" which hit all the right buttons in terms of scare factor, emotional punches or bizzare plot twists, along with a handful of very funny moments (e.g. Yaz's mum enquiring about her daughter's relationship with the Doctor in "Arachnids in the UK"). Just one thing, don't make the Doctor too perfect, i.e. lose all her edge... She may have overcome one of her biggest traumas in "The Day of the Doctor", but I'm sure there are many more things that weigh heavily on her mind / conscience. Hope, we will explore this side of hers a bit more in Season 12..Score: 5/5
Best season by farMan, the production values, writing, acting, plotting. Itās a quality reinvention of a great show. Some of the best sci-fi Iāve seen on TV in a long while. Absurdly good character work, delightful new ideas and worlds, and a great new Doctor to top it all off. I canāt wait to see where they take this next!.Score: 5/5
One of the best seasons of modern WhoI was a big fan of modern Doctor Who from Eccleston onward. It was one of my favorite shows for years. Around the 3rd Matt Smith season, the show's quality began to dip and I found myself still watching but enjoying the show less over time. By Capaldi's last season, I felt the show had been mediocre for too long and finally gave up on it half way through the season. I only bought this season because it was on sale. I had not heard many positive comments about it. After watching, I don't get the complaints. What a difference a new show runner makes. This is not just a great season of Doctor Who, it's a great season of any television show. The character development of the companions (especially Ryan and Graham) is fantastic. I can't believe people said the season had too many companions. The directors of individual episodes do a fantastic job making the show more visually appealing than in the past. Having given up on the show and coming across this season was like running into someone you used to really like that developed massive issues, then running into them again years later and they've figured it all out. Give this season a shot. I can't guarentee you'll like it, but I'd completely given up on the show. What a foolish move by me. Give this season a chance. Clearly some people don't like it, but I loved every moment..Score: 5/5
Amazed by the "Long-time Dr. Who-watcher" ReviewsI've been seeing this fairly consistently across social media, etc. So many so called "Long-time Doctor Who watchers" complaining about the writing and stories in this season. They are both wrong about the writing, and their basic premise of the history of the show. The shows writing is great, and the stories offer good role-models and make you think about interesting, challenging messages. Dr. Who has always been about morality, doing what is right, and fighting for equality. People that are complaining that the show has too much social commentary seem to be unaware that Dr. Who (and really all good sci-fi) has always been a vehicle for exploring the present. It seems like people have complained the most about "Rosa", which I really don't understand. Does anyone really think that an episode that condemns racism is bad. Especially when that story tries to ground in message in actualy historical events. It seems like certain watchers may be unhappy with actually being forced to think about current and recent events. As for the writing and characters, I love the new Doctor. She is very likable. Upbeat. Resourceful. Intelligent. Everything I would want for a role model. The dynamics between the new group is fun. Very "Box Car Children"-ish. I do agree that character development is a little hard with three companions, but I feel like the writers have pretty good paths for each member of the cast. So, yes, if you are looking for a mindless hour of television, go watch Transformers or something like that. If you are looking for good role-models and stories that are willing to attack difficult topics, this latest season of Dr. Who delivers..Score: 5/5
Really Poor Storylines and Writing, Sad ReallyI have no problem with a female Doctor Who whatsoever. Actually, it was a refreshing idea to be frank. The problem lies in the feeling you get as you watch most episodes is that you are watching some low-budget time machine show. Seriously, if you compare some of the content of these episodes to another show that had a female time tripping around in a time machine pod (hint hint), then you will almost see plagiarism in the scripts. Just really seems to take away from the thrill and excitement of what sci-fi defines in the true genre. Again, kudos to the female Doctor, but rotten eggs for the script writers. I just feel super let down in that regard. With that said, I am merely sharing my opinion from the standpoint of a lifelong Doctor Who fan who has watched all seasons, so I hope that my shared thoughts and opinions are relevant for some readers wanting an insight before handing out the money for this season. In my humble opinion, it is one to wait for to broadcast on public arenas rather than buy to view. Your money would be well spent on another decent show and not spent on this one. I hope this helps.

Rosa, Demons of the Punjab, and Kerblam are all great episodes and the main cast are all very strong throughout. The plots aren't all that great, and the themes can get muddled in some episodes, but the character interactions and a more down-to-earth take on the Doctor Who format gives me hope that the next series can be amazing with a little more polish and consistency. (And Chibnall giving more episodes to the fresh guest writers) iTunes should be more consistent with what time they put up the episodes!
