The Observer (UK)Apr 14, 2025
Season 2 Review:
At times it’s too busy, like watching a sci-fi fairground in full swing (plot lines whirling everywhere). Then again, the Doctor and Belinda have intriguingly abrasive chemistry (“There’s always a doctor standing back while the nurses do all the hard work”), so this could get interesting.

Season 2 Review:
Sethu is just right for Belinda’s no-nonsense approach to unfamiliar experiences, underscored with an instinctive compassion for strangers. Her chemistry with the ever-engaging Gatwa looks good. So we’re ready to fly again, but there remains the issue of making the comeback work as an episode on its own terms.

Season 2 Review:
Those who criticise the rebooted series for being preachy and overtly political are unlikely to be placated by this unsubtle swerve into the culture wars. A shame, because as far as episodes introducing new companions go, The Robot Revolution works a treat. Varada Sethu makes an immediate impact as Belinda Chandra.

Season 2 Review:
Halfway through the episode Davies seems to reverse polarity, changing the theme from technology and AI overreach to toxic masculinity. Neither are really explored in anything close to the depth they should be. .... However, it is a fun, fast-paced hour of TV, laced with trademark Davies wit and the joyous surprises you expect from a man who still clearly longs for that blue box to come and sweep him far, far away.

Season 1 Review:
The [Space Babies] plot involves nappies and bogeys, which makes it fun for younger viewers but a bit cringe-worthy for adults. An entry-level episode in many ways, it has the Doctor explaining the basics to Ruby. .... The [The Devil’s Chord] episode has a good opening scene but then goes on for what feels like forever, with drag queen Jinkx Monsoon chewing the scenery as Maestro. .... The main asset of the new Doctor Who is Gatwa, who carries the series along with the force of his megawatt charisma.

Season 1 Review:
Space Babies is a textbook example of a mid-ranking Who instalment, fun but forgettable and, ultimately, not making sense. .... Much better is episode two, The Devil’s Chord, which takes the Doctor and Ruby to Abbey Road to witness the Beatles recording their debut album.
