1) Heaven Sent - Startlingly adult and innovative, an
astonishing episode
2) The Witches Familiar - Using the past as a weapon, this is
a daring game of deception
3) The Zygon Inversion - Flawed, but with some shockingly
good moments
4) The Girl Who Died - Sunny, funny and thoughtful
5) Face the Raven - Different, which series nine needs a lot
more of
6) The Magician's Apprentice - Ignore the rock star
nonsense, focus on Missy
7) Under the Lake - Traditional but told really confidently
8) The Zygon Invasion - Ambitious in places, cowardly in
others
9) Before the Flood - A massively disappointing conclusion
to an enjoyable set up
10) Hell Bent - Fanwank of the highest order
11) The Woman Who Lived - A woeful misstep, it isn't funny
or dramatic
12) Sleep No More - Quite simply one of the most boring
things ever

This'll be my last comment on the show for a while. There's such a gulf in opinion between the fans (a Golden Age for the show) and the dissenters (a self-satisfied production team) with enough of a political bee's nest (Clara as a feminist hero) that I don't feel this show is for me.
It's no longer a matter of, "Let's wait a year or two when everyone readjusts their optics." The show has just moved on.
