Doctor Who

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.

You destroyed the legacy Chris. Way to go buddy. I knew as soon as I saw the new design elements that this period was gonna blow, and it does. Nothing to do with the fact that it's a woman playing the Doctor, everything to do with a bad fanfic writer playing showrunner.

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.

One of my favourite shows growing up, but has deffinetly gone down hill in series 10, and I nevwr watched it past Capaldi's departure from the show, so I only base my rating on that segment of the show (2005 - 2017)

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!
