The Woman Who Fell to Earth

Her acting seemed a bit forced and didn't seem like her own character, a lot of the lines were just forced comedy "what's this? A tongue clever boy biology" well done you smashed comedic writing there. Definitely seems like doctor who has decreased in quality, doesn't help that I keep thinking I'm watching The Chase..

I was one of the fans that was a little concerned by this series, not because of the female lead, just because of the new cast, writers production, time slot etc.

When Moffat took over from Davies there was change, but it wasn't drastic, this felt like a whole new show, everything felt very different, good for some, bad for others.

This one was very much an introductory episode, personally I didn't really care for the story, felt a bit more like a Torchwood plot, then a Dr Who episode, but it was decent, just a bit dour.

Production values, filming, music etc were very good. The main question was Jodie Whittaker any good? I enjoyed her performance, she was energetic and charismatic, I think with better material she will sparkle. Her introduction felt seemless, the radical change into a woman seemed almost not to matter. No real time yet for Bradley and his fellow new companions to shine through yet.

Overall it was pretty good, but I feel very optimistic. 7/10

Good camera work, good lighting, good sound design. Technically well made. However the characters felt a bit generic for me, hopefully they get a bit more fleshed out. Script was a bit meh, felt a little flat at times. Some good comedy bits but mostly dark stuff. Very obvious plot points and concequences.

Main question though, does it feel like doctor who? Honestly, not currently, but it is only the first episode.

How's Jodie? She's alrite. The other characters didn't stand out for me. I would've preferred one companion.

Overall just ok. While technically well made, the story didnt really do much for me.

An episode you'd expect mid season. Basic evil alien story that reminded me of a Predator movie. Would have worked fine if most of the episode was devoted to getting the new Doctor established. But not enough time introducing the new Doctor. And too much time introducing other characters. And when the Doctor was doing something, she was more like Macgyver. A new Doctor deserves a much better kick off.

The Doctor felt all right at some times and off at others, but that's normal for a first episode. Most of the companions weren't engaging to me. Would have felt better if it was just the Doctor + Ryan or Yaz, it would've made it more personal and left more time for both the Doctor and the companion to be well established (the way 11th and Amy Pond did it). It seems like they are just doing away with the whole Doctor/Companion dynamic, which is disappointing. As it is right now it just felt like a standard mid-season chaotic filler episode. Hope it gets better from here...
