While the 2000s Dr Who reboot have always featured a bit of silliness, the Disney version overdoes it with multiple childish musical numbers no one asked for or wanted. This is a British science fiction show, not the Mickey Mouse Club.
Fans of Tenant, Smith, and Capaldi seasons will be happy to discover that the Doctor has returned to timey wimey paradoxes, universe spanning big ideas, and potentially world ending jeopardy. Non-musical portions of the show are tightly written and full of tension and suspense. Horror is back too, with the recent outstanding episode of 73 Yards.
Ncuti is a fantastic actor, and Millie is a good actor when allowed to shine. I miss the arrogant genius Doctor of yesteryear. Where is the fearless Doctor who can fix any problem with sheer intelligence and a sonic screwdriver? The sonic was used exactly twice this entire season, and would have invalidated the entire premise of episode 4.
I enjoy the new season, and don't mind fewer toilet plunger armed/tin can killer machines. Hopefully the writing remains elevated and do not start resorting to lazy Hollywood tropes.
