The lowest point in Doctor Who. Bland one-dimensional Doctor, forgettable companions that hardly affect the plot, generic episodes and the lowest raitings. Cancel this series now and kill it once and for all.

I am disappointed in you, Doc Oho. You are better than this.

I don't know if Doc Oho got caught up in the hype or watched a different edit from the rest of us, but he seems to be wearing Rosa coloured spectacles. Rosa is a good example. Remove all the elements of 13 and it's a good piece of drama, the inclusion of The Doctor makes little impact. Baddie is "space racist". Exellent example of style over substance. Same with Demons, the Doctor is superflous, the scifi elements botched.

Jodie's Doctor is truly awful, in every episode, and is saved time and again by the performances of the other players. This is a low point in Who history culminating in a massive middle finger to every past Doctor, every writer, every producer and show runner and every fan of the show for the last 55 years.

Though I suspect the real reason Doc Oho gave these weak episodes such ridiculously high scores is because he's afraid to criticise them as critics of the 13th Doctor's run have been attacked disgracefully. What a shame.

I personally found series 11 bland and uninspired. Series 12 has been a mix of good and bad.
I think Chibnall has a lot of good ideas but he struggles to execute them well.
I think Jodie has what it takes to be a good doctor S12 was a step in the right direction but she needs more work.
Under another showrunner and with fewer companions I think she would shine.
Just a personal opinion though.

@Alistair.servan and @Anonymous
Whatever opinion Doc Oho has, "It's His Opinion".

So don't act like all entitled just because someone you follow doesn't agree with you.

The professional press thinks the same as we do. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/bbc-has-failed-doctor-jodie-whittaker-no-wonder-quitting/

What a mean-spirited bunch of people here. Using Torygraph articles and so on, refusing to accept that people might think differently. Classic gate-keeping fans. And then saying people can't really like them and are afraid to criticise them.

The era of meh and cringe.

Well, Chinball damaged the show so much that the BBC had to bring back RTD and Tennant to save it.
