The Tsuranga Conundrum

I was definitely optimistic for this new season but it's just not the Doctor Who we've come to know and love.

The writing really isn't helping either and I still feel like I know nothing about this doctor and I feel so little for the companions of which there are two too many.

I loved this show and never missed an episode. Now I struggle to sit through this drivel. Where is the fun? Seriously, it feels like all the fun has been sucked out of this show - it's so bland and sterile. The writing has been awful - Chibnal clearly has no clue how to write engaging sci-fi stories. Also not a fan of Jodie as a Doctor - sure she doesn't have a lot to work with because of the woeful writing, but she looks completely lost and out of her depth most of the times. She just doesn't have natural charisma. It's not really her fault, but it's a reality. Charismatic actors capture audience's attention as soon as they are no the screen, they command attention. Unfortunately Jodie just doesn't have any charisma at all. She feels just as bland as the show and her interpretation of the character seems unoriginal and boring. Also I wish they didn't go the many companions route - it doesn't work. It takes screentime away from the Doctor and from the story. It works best with one companion, sometimes it works with 2 companions, but more than that and it's just a mess.

The dialogue is very patchy and quite clunky. Jodie Whittaker isn't the let down here, it's the screenwriters.

Absolute garbage. I can't offer any more than that. I'm sorry.

Doctor who gone and forgotten it has an adult audience and leaves us with excessive companions and ridiculous aliens. This couldn't get further from the classic series at its best if it tried. Dire on every level.
