The issue isn’t simply “the Doctor killed all the Sontarans” It’s that a story that gave us the mass genocide of 4 different species can barely find time to treat those actions with any kind of weight or significance.

@spacethirteen Usually such prior actions taken by the Doctor are framed as morally dubious, or with a degree of nuance. There’s often a thematic reason for such action to be part of the story. Without this, we get Thirteen making yet another questionable decision that’s framed as heroic.

What Chris Chibnall has done to Doctor Who is reset the boundaries of storytelling. From telling the story of Rosa Parks to The Timeless Children, he never played it safe and pushed Doctor Who into new completely new territory. For a 60 year old show, that’s an huge achievement.

Why is so much focus placed on the social-political responsibility of the casting? No matter who you cast, you need to put effort into the characterisation and themes for it to work. Jodie’s era shows than even a progressive casting choice doesn’t guarantee a progressive show.

I believe with this era of the show (some musty colour grading aside) has been the best the show has ever looked. Chris Chibnall wanted to give the show the aesthetic of an ITV-drama & it was an astonishingly good look for the show. Double Negative's CGI work was also top-tier.

@Diamandahagan You don’t know what “cinematography” is and you’re basing your argument on superficial qualities like the camera technology and limitations of the time. The only real issue was being over-lit, but the shot composition and overall direction was FAR superior to Chibnall.

“Rosa” is bold in concept but chickens out with an incredibly surface level and, at times, problematic exploration of its issues. The Timeless Children is a twist that effectively goes “What if more Doctors” yet fails to generate compelling drama or conflict from it.
