Doctor Who

I am one of the millions that have stopped watching it, and I have no joy in saying that, but under Chris Chibnall's course this show has become a laughing stock. The first episode attracted 10+ million viewers, that number has now sunk to less than 4 million. If I lost 60% of my customers I would be out of business, why hasn't there been an announcement that Chris and Jodie are leaving?

I would class the Chibnall era as 1/10, the episodes are unwatchable, Resolution was enough for me. Prior to that we had Capaldi, not my favourite, but in comparison he was good. The Tennant and Smith years were the greatest, as a family we'd have pizza and make an evening of it, now we just enjoy the DVDs.

Please BBC listen to your viewers, give us back Doctor Who, before Chibnall wrecks nearly sixty years of history.

Seriously. There was so much potential for some new perspectives, and even sources of humor, with a female doctor. There have been a few sporadic moments where the writers have taken advantage of this opportunity. But by and large the writers have made Jodie's tenure incredibly preachy. Nearly every episode's theme is basically human shaming. And it's getting really old. Rosa Parks, an obvious copy of Donald Trump, a pregnant man, a jab at Amazon, witches, leaving a couple people to die in favor of a rant about climate change... with the exceptions of the one about Tesla and Fugitive of the Jadoon, the only interesting episode was the one about the partition of India and Pakistan. i lose interest about 3/4 into every episode. I had high hopes after two consecutive excellent episodes, but now I'm watching a lecture on plastic pollution. Enough already! The writers need to be reminded that their audience consists of GROWN ASS PEOPLE who do not need to be lectured when they are merely trying to enjoy a little entertainment!

Nothing saddens me more than seeing what had happened to Doctor Who, this use to be one of the greatest shows ever. Moffat received a lot of criticism over the years but he was the best writer in Doctor Who history. Chibnall needs to go, he is the worst writer I've ever seen and it breaks my heart to watch him butcher my childhood. Seasons 1-10 = 9.8 stars seasons 11, and 12 = 0.5 stars.

This show had a fantastic run for quite a while. Chris Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith were all excellent in the role as The Doctor. The stories, characters and overarching plot were all so well done.

The series starts to show some rough edges right as Peter Capaldi becomes The Doctor, but I don't blame him for it. He just got stuck with some mediocre stories, and his sidekick Clara and other side characters just weren't as good. Loved the episodes Mummy on the Orient Express, and Heaven Sent.

Season 11 is where the show falls off a cliff. The writing is so awful, I kept fast forwarding through episodes trying to find something good, and then the seasons ended. Jodie Whittaker didn't get a chance to show how good, or bad, she could be in the role.

Starting Season 14 now in hopes that the show is good again now that Chibnall is not head writer and producer anymore.

Seasons 1 through 10 are brilliant overall. Seasons 11 and 12 are so awful that they might as well be a different show altogether. From 2018 onwards, the vibes and tone are just plain wrong. Don't even bother watching any episodes post-2017.
