Demons of the Punjab

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.

I'm torn with tonight's episode, "Demons of the Punjab". Whilst it's a well directed, polished production, I'm feeling the series is moving away from what "Doctor Who" is all about. I had high hopes when I read Chris Chibnall was taking the helm. I've now serious doubts about the future of the show at his hands.

Despite me wanting to really like Jody Whittaker, her performance feels too one dimensional.

The series is also lacking the sheer fun and escapism of previous seasons.

7 out of 10. I think the series is starting to suffer from an identity crisis.

Incredible episode, thought provoking, and a pleasant surprise? I must admit I was regretting this episode when it was first announced. But honestly, it was the best episode yet! It includes time travel clichés, tough decisions and great characters. Doctor Who at it's core. Here's hoping it continues with this standard.

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.

Last week's effort was perhaps the lowest point so far, I feared for a further drop in quality, but we get an episode that sits secondary in this series to the great Rosa. Similar format to Rosa, a historical, very interesting, for me to Google what really happened during this troubled time.

The lack of Alien threat is becoming a bit of a problem, once again we get an Alien race, which fails to deliver any meaningful threat, this time at least the 'demons' looked a great deal better, but they flattered to deceive. At least Yaz finally gets a story, she's suffered the Nyssa effect of late, being somewhat sidelined.

I loved the production values, beautifully shot, great costumes, loved the music.

It wasn't great, but it was definitely better then the last few. It had some rather poignant moments, i liked it, but I still feel a link to the past is needed.
