This is probably the worst episode of television I've ever seen. Absolutely despicable. Idk if this is a culmination of all the previous dross resulting in my hatred for this era reaching boiling point, but I do feel like this episode was especially abysmal, even for the current standards. There was not one single redeeming feature about this episode. Not one. Genuinely it is beyond woeful. I was actually really thinking about just switching it off, which I've never done with an episode of tv before bc they're literally like 40 minutes I may as well just watch it. That's what I ended up doing with this but it was a chore to see it all the way through.

This was the nail in the coffin for the Daleks; at this point I just never want to see them again. There hasn't been a single good Dalek story since The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, and this one completely butchered what little credibility they had left. It's as if this episode took all the absolute worst features of the Chibnall era and crammed them all in. Shocking dialogue, atrocious pacing, idiotic writing, painful acting, terrible score, zero character writing, ugly technical work. It's an absolute disgrace to the show and I'm not just saying that to be a hater. This era is genuinely by far the worst thing I've ever watched and I truly honestly cannot understand how people don't despise it, let alone enjoy it. To each their own but it's a completely alien concept to me. "Stop watching then" you'd probably say, and believe me I would have a long time ago, but a mixture of my love for the show before 2018 and RTD's return are what's keeping me going. Im just gonna have to grin and bear the next two episodes and then hopefully this show will be saved.
