The Well

Ep1 - Robot Revolution - meh!

Ep2 - Lux - not bad!

Ep3 - The Well - Excellent!!

It feels like we are ramping up this series and as if RTD is finally hitting his stride.

A really intriguing initial mystery (featuring a stand out performance from Rose Ayling-Ellis, would love to see more of her in DW) leads into some genuinely scary moments, an uncharacteristically high body count, and a plot twist that I didn't see coming until just before the reveal.

This episode had it all for me, including some so far limited development and proper acting from our new companion. If the doctor could just stop crying in every episode, that'd be a relief (we get it, you're the 'one who feels').

Also, what an ending!

More of this please.

This episode was brilliantly done... Russell T Davies has once again made a masterpiece psychological horror story using the simplest of elements and resources. This episode proves that the scariest things in life are the ones we can't comprehend. I stand by the title... in my opinion, it surpasses even "Blink" on the fear factor level; there are multiple terrifying jump scares that completely catch you off guard. I watched this episode as soon as it came out at midnight, which was both a horrific mistake and also added completely to the experience; it was sleep worth lost. It's also great utilization of a past Doctor Who element. The acting is top notch, and in my opinion, Ncuti Gatwa's best. Can't recommend it enough, and it very well deserves its rating above all the other episodes thus far. Hope to see more like this.

After sitting through the utter dross of Chibnall and limped through elements of series 1 of the return of RTD - this is it!! Finally, a storyline building on previous strengths which delivers on so many levels. For the first time since Tennants return and before that the end of Capaldi, I was hooked. This hit the buttons of what makes Dr Who. Great writing, thrills and swings of emotions. I am really hoping this is the beginning of a new level of quality and excitement. We have had to put up with utter rubbish now please RTD build on this moving forwards! This felt like Dr Who was finally back 😊

The Doctor and Belinda get embroiled in a rescue mission alongside a small crew, to discover a single survivor.

Unbelievable, this was a superb episode, for my money the best in years, this really did have it all, it felt so fresh, yet familiar at the same time, I felt like I was transported back to the golden series, four.

I won't give away any spoilers here, but that twist, utterly phenomenal, never in my wildest imaginings did I see that coming, it worked incredibly well.

Tension and horror throughout, Russell you really nailed this one.

The music was phenomenal here, it played a huge part in driving forward the tension and menace, it took us right back to the early years.

It looked fantastic, superb special effects as have now become the norm.

Quality performances all round, every single person played their part well.

Rose Ayling-Ellis was tremendous here, I have purposely avoided any spoilers and casting notes, I was so excited to see her, she was fabulous. If you haven't seen Reunion in which she appears, please check it out.

More like this please.

10/10.

Suspenseful. Mysterious. Gripping. A compelling setting, interesting side characters, a terrifying foe and a brilliant script. This episode had it all. While it might not exactly reach the heights of the episode it's inspired by, boy does it come close. Everything about this episode was fantastic and it really brought a sense of immense threat and terror to this new series of the show. And the acting was on point - some of the best performances so far. I hope the writing pair of this episode write more episodes together because this was undoubtedly the best one of the latest era of the show by far!!
