Awkwardly Disappointing...
Looking forward to giving a female Doctor Who a try. I enjoy Jodie Whittaker and though I wasn't sure about the SJW spin on the franchise, I was willing to give it a go. Aside from being a bit too preachy for my tastes, the Doctor is being played weak. I find this ironic, given it is being played by a woman. This was an opportunity to have a strong female character, but she just isn't. Every chance the character has to stand strong and take command, she comes across as whiny or snippy. The writers hitting all the major SJW rants in their story-lines is distracting. There is nothing subtle about the intentions of this show. I do hope it can be repaired in the future, but for now, Doctor Who has been hijacked for propaganda purposes and it is detracting from the franchise. A bit of a shame, given they could have good stories, a strong female Doctor Who and include their propaganda, but the writing and directing is so terrible...
