    Things progress with a superb pace in the premiere--something that many in season 8 failed to do--and set the tone for a far more successful set of episodes than those we saw in 2014.

    This is a pretty lively Whovian world.... Clara is the sunshine to the Doctor's sadness, and Coleman makes her shine.

    All I can say the writing is still fabulous. The ideas are still marvelous, the acting is never boring and blended and there is always enoughAll I can say the writing is still fabulous. The ideas are still marvelous, the acting is never boring and blended and there is always enough stuff to mindf*ck you until the episode end. All we need, forever, is some nice, pleasant faces to make everything shine and attach ourselves to everyone. Nothing bad to say, for now. Spoilers are coming...… Full Review »

    What a season! This has been a huge step up from series 8, with nearly every episode being an 8/10 at least.

    The weakest episode was probably "Sleep No More," an attempt at a found-footage episode that was very confusing and made little sense. My favorites were the Witch's Familiar, The Girl Who Died, The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion, and Heaven Sent. Capaldi's 12th Doctor really came into his own this series, and is now my favorite Doctor after his astounding performances in every episode, namely the Witch's Familiar, the Girl Who Died, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, and Hell Bent. I am looking forward to see what Moffat does with series 10, and I am very optimistic about Chris Chibnall taking over for series 11. I hope Capaldi stays for at least 3 more series; I would love to see how Chibnall writes his Doctor.    … Full Review »

    Best series since series 4. Capaldi is just FANTASTIC! Easily one of the best actors anywhere on TV, just watch The Witch's Familiar, TheBest series since series 4. Capaldi is just FANTASTIC! Easily one of the best actors anywhere on TV, just watch The Witch's Familiar, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, or Heaven Sent to be wowed. All episodes were fun, engaging, and looked stunning. The only problem was Sleep no More, which of course, was written by Mark Gatiss. He is a very talented writer, but his scripts have been hit and miss for me. At least the acting was good, but the script was confusing, and the directing was not as good as other episodes. I'd give Sleep No More a 3/10, but at least they tried something new.
    All other episodes were 9/10 or 10/10 for me. Incredible characterization, acting, directing, and scripts for all the series.

    Awesome! 10/10 for series 9    … Full Review »
