Too overly confusing, but it does get slightly better again
[3.5]
Once again I didn't enjoy this episode that much. There's still a lot of unnecessary sections, poor acting and writing. As much as I enjoy Doctor Who episodes where the characters are jumping about in time, this one felt like it had been done multiple times before, but this was not executed as well, like a deliberately confusing timey-wimey Stephen Moffat episode but worse. It was too overly confusing for my liking, though I think my main problem is that this series just doesn't feel like Doctor Who. (Most of Chibnall's episodes don't, but this series especially).
However, like some Chibnall episodes, there were bits that I really liked about it. The scene with the Cybermen was good, and my favourite part was probably when a Weeping Angel jumps out of Yaz's video game. Next week's trailer looks brilliant but because of the fact that these three episodes have been quite frankly awful, I'm not going to let myself get my hopes up.
