"...Playing it like Jim Carrey in the Mask" he says as if that's a bad thing.

Everyone connected to this mess is currently watching the end of their careers and I couldn't be happier.

I literally could not care less whether they have a drag queen on the show. I just care that the story-writing for this series is BAD and they seem to be stealing elements from so many shows and movies, rather than going for anything original.

How did it get worse than the 13ths run

oh, that's sad i had a fantastic time with this episode i saw you didn't care for space babies and i hoped you could turn around on this one

Maestro is the best thing in this episode, a fantastic over the top scene stealing performance. The song and dance number however is, for me, the definitive moment the show jumps the shark. I kept hoping it was leading somewhere but it only lead to the credits. Absolute cringe.

Clearly not paying attention to the writers pattern of you knowing what's going on until the big reveal. Ever watch the River song storyline.

Oopsie your bigotry is showing! Rule #1 the doctor lies! Established lore!

Disneys Once Upon A Time have done this Emma had a hidden song in her heart that protected her by her mother when she came up against her enemies & even kills her most dangerous foe with the hidden song. This is not a new concept ... Sorry

Yea, this episode did me in. I got it, LOUD and clear, that Dr. Who it's no longer for me. Oh well.

I don’t care for the constant 4th wall breaking, I feel like it works with maestro because they are beyond time and space, but having sideline characters talking to the camera and the dr winking at the camera feels strange and forced. I actually enjoyed it up until the painful musical number at the end

But wait there is more to come. I wonder if the acolyte is gonna be this bad.

Past doctors had good storytelling

It's no longer Dr Who. It's Dr What.

"Space Babies" and "Devil's Chord" are a tie for the worst episode ever. And you are correct - Ncuti is not The Doctor.

Cry harder LMFAO

Like Mork and Mindy this is Ncuti and Ruby. Good lord. Between Disparu's review and now yours this is just getting worse and worse. I'm trying to understand their angle here too. Because its rather funny to want "muh representation" yet bring in this drag freak and make him the villain and obnoxious one at that. I know its not what I'm sure some people might claim is "based" but unintentionally so, when it is just to have more the alphabet representation one way or another. In my book this is all exactly what RTD wanted to do, but either the writing team back then or the BBC toned him down. This is definitely full mask off. Also just as Disparu put it, this is what happens when you take something that is very much a certain culture in this case British and Americanize it or Globalize it. Turns to shit. Welp, another episode, another horrible sounding mess. Lets see how Moffat also adds to the shit in the bed! Great review sir.

I haven't watched the show for several seasons, but I'm confused. Do we have a gay black doctor with an assistant with a lesbian mother and also a lesbian best friend featuring a non-binary drag queen? I'm all for inclusivity, but I feel like this is just as bad as if every single character was straight, cisgender and white? Like, anything in extreme is bad.

Dr who has been uttter sh*** for a good few years now, but this series will be the worst...

i think the new series has its problems, but this vid just feels like "woke bashing" which actually isn't constructive criticism.

They stole scenes from as many shows and movies as they could. Not a toug of originality. Not even a fan but gave it a watch.. Episode 1 crying about what they didn't recieve from there parents as children...terrible jokes and that Disney special talent fro telling you everything you need to know about main characters in the space of 5 minutes. Episode 2 stipe scenes from butterfly effect...straight into healing the butterfly stilen from the green mile. And that musical scene taken right out of Dr. Strange....this is so pathetic and lacking any originality.

Why do you keep giving Doctor Who attention? It died with 12th.
