Season 11 Review: The premiere episode here, “The Woman Who Fell to Earth,” reminded me, more than anything, of “The X-Files,” when it was really good. It takes you back to the days when Doctor Who was a fun sci-fi procedural. ... [The alien] resembles some gleaming villain out of a Marvel movie, which makes his blokey name, Tim Shaw, even more incongruously funny. This is Doctor Who at its best--nerdy and chilling and quick with a joke. And, most significantly of all, generous of spirit, a quality that simply shimmers off Whittaker. Read full review

Season 5 Review: It's obvious from the start that a familiar hand is at work in the storytelling, and 27-year-old Mr. Smith is as game as his predecessors in committing whole-hog to the crazy and delivering the drama. Read full review

Season 11 Review: There’s a convincing ordinariness underpinning the fantastic events here. ... “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” does feel like a fresh start; Moffat’s later years were heavy in tone and hobbled by long arcs and psychology. If only for a transitional moment, but maybe longer, the new season has put that baggage down. Read full review

Season 11 Review: This Doctor Who feels like a lot of other TV shows, not just in its writing but in its pacing, its cinematography, its use of music. When the scary monsters appear, you could be watching any other well-made but conventional science-fiction or horror show. Or a police procedural, for that matter. Everything about the show is more ordinary, which may have to do with levels of inventiveness but also feels like a choice. ... Ms. Whittaker performs gamely, if not yet distinctively, as the 2,000-year-old Time Lord. It’s far too early to tell what kind of stamp she might put on the character. Read full review

An everlasting masterpiece of science-fiction. Any other time traveling-related movie is bound to have taken some of its inspiration from this marvelous piece of art.

All but the 12th doctor and the writers for the 13trh doctor are good. It's not that I'm against the actor or anything, but The Doctor is supposed to get younger by each regeneration. But excluding that, the 11th doctor was spot on and perfect. Great show, with some great story, will keepAll but the 12th doctor and the writers for the 13trh doctor are good.

Not sure if it's Jodi, or the fact that it's just a female doctor, or just bad writing but the stories are poor. Season 11 was weak but I just chalked it up to be a transition season. I feel the "companions" have more of a relationship with each other than the Doctor has with them.

I feel the "companions" have more of a relationship with each other than the Doctor has with them. It's also obvious that these stories have more of an agenda to push rather than telling a fun imaginative story. Personally I can't wait for them to change doctors again, but I realize that a change may not produce what I desire, mostly I wish Stephen Moffit would come back. I may just give up watching a show I love simply due to its spunkiness no longer being present.… Expand

Only watch until S9. Everything after that has been infected by modern true toxic agendas and THE MESSAGE. 0/10 represents only the current status of this show.

This show has progressively worsened since David Tennant's Doctor Who departed. As it stands, this is the worst season by far although 2 episodes are out. I don't care about women in the show.

As it stands, this is the worst season by far although 2 episodes are out. I don't care about women in the show.

I feel like there is more bloat in these episodes than anything.… Expand

The script, the acting, the character development are brilliant. Chris Chibnall successful revived Doctor Who in a stunning way... Is what I wish I would be saying. I loved Doctor Who since its rebirth in 2005 when I was a kid. I feel so empty now watching season 11 and 12..
