Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If there's something I've learned, it's that Doctor Who usually brings edge-of-your seat adventure with an overarcing storyline that ties the whole bit together. This season, not so great. Jodie does a great job trying to be the Doctor within her script, but there is something in the plot that's missing. We are seeing a lot of character development in conversations that have nothing to do with the plot (let's be honest, did we have to watch Yaz and Ryan talk for 5 minutes about his dad, after watching Ryan ignore the letter from his dad, after watching his dad not show for his Nan's funeral? We get it, he's a bad dad). Instead of building interesting plots and adventures, the episodes seem to be campaigning for a belief (Yes, we get it, the current American political scene is a wash, but that doesn't mean that we needed an entire episode about oversized spiders and guns to humour it). Where's the nonsensical twists, the humour, the adrenaline-spiked what's-going-to-happen-next feeling? We're halfway through the season and it's.. dull. Boring. We're not getting stuck on trains with killer ghosts, exploring huge vaults, seeing the ends of the universe or the art of civilizations... the companions just exist, and the way the Doctor's been written is dull and flat. I know Jodie's a better actress than they're constraining her to. This is just ridiculous I really hope BBC has a Hail Mary, because I'd hate to see Doctor Who slide by on the Whovian Fandom's good graces.
