Demons of the Punjab

I have never ever written an review on IMDB but I felt I had to for this episode. This new seasons cinematography is absolutely stunning? They definitely need to keep at it. The writing for this episode is brilliant, I loved it. It made me cry. Along with the Rosa parks episode, no need to be aliens, just simple human history by going back in time is brilliant. The writers for this season are superb, give this episode a watch it certainly kept me engaged

The aliens and their back story were very interesting, and i did find the ending a bit emotional. otherwise though, i found this episode rather slow and boring and the supporting characters were uninteresting

Gave a good story for the companions (would've loved more Graham). Wish there was more of a threat which is my only complaint. Let's hope the episodes get better from here on up.

Despite Chris Chibnall's best efforts towards mediocrity and poorly developing his characters and his new Doctor Who, this episode notably without his name on the writing credit really shines. It is beautiful both by script and by appearance. Spain stands in for Pakistan in location shots, but boy does this episode make me want to explore both places. I was moved to tears by this one, but also thrilled.

Doctor Who fans who complain about the lack of scary monsters and super creeps in it seem to have forgotten about the middle third of the thing. Sure the focus turns towards the human horrors of the Partition of India, quite brilliantly, but the premise of these demons is complex and interesting. (Why can't they come back as scary monsters? This is a time travel show!)

This season and this episode in particular is good. I can't say I don't enjoy it or that it is poorly done. With all YouTube reviews, I expected way worse. But more than a half of the season is behind and I haven't experienced what made me experience any other season.
