To think the new Dr Who is totally shite

[Bearbehind]

The first female doctor - such an opportunity yet it’s been wasted - she’s crap.

Completely overacted in every single episode.

I think Phoebe Waller Bridge (Fleabag and Killing Eve) would have been brilliant. She was made for the part!

Agree with the consensus. Crap. Especially this evening's one.

It's lost the light hearted. I've watched every other series with DC (6) this one- nope. Too many dead people, and realistic horror. Much prefer the slightly ridiculousness of other series.

Tonight's episode is crap. A pregnant man?! How bloody inclusive do we need to be? I'm all for representation, but this is overboard and feels so preachy.

I'm watching the end and it does seem to be very 'inclusive' I last saw DW when the Daleks frightened the bejeesus out of me. I don't get it

I see next week they're going to go to India in 1947. I bet that won't be at all preachy or over-earnest.

I was excited about a female doctor, but she's bloody unbearable. Whiney little-girl voice. I wish it had been someone with a bit of presence. Like Olivia Colman maybe.

Agree about the try-hard storylines as well. Boring as fuck

The iPhone equivalent of Cern??
Oh fuck off would the Dr say that

The Rosa Parks episode was fantastic

Oh come on Grace lol

I think Jodie Whittaker is doing the best she can with the script she has been given.
I preferred Steven Moffat & Russell T Davies.

I loved Christopher Eccleston as the doctor, and everything else he has been in, and David Tennent was brilliant too, but the next two were irritating, except for the Van Gogh episode, and unfortunately Jodie has been disappointing so far.

Totally disagree. Even if because so far no long preachy monologues. Certainly not missing Moffet's pretend complixity. (That he described as clever and intellectual anyone not liking it were presumably "fairly stupid people").

Doctor Who has always had bits about morals or history. The Doctors always over the top and a bit manic. Plus was and really is supposed to be a bit silly.

I'd have liked someone bonkers like Helena Bonham Carter. Or Angela Oh, Fiona Shaw or Jodie Comer having seen them in Killing Eve.

Agreed. Too preachy, too many companions and too much overacting.

I need a bit more depth in the plots, the scripts and the characters. I know it's not Shakespeare, but I'm struggling to feel empathy with this lot.

I reckon Yaz could be a great companion, but Jodie seems to always talking AT her companions in a shouty lecturing way. The young guy doesn't seem to have a real purpose yet, If he wasn't there I'm not sure I'd notice.

It’s sooooo grim. 53 years I’ve watched Dr Who but I’m done. I can’t watch them wreck it any further.

The writing is risible.

Jodie is a fine actor and a great dr who

She's too breathy and shouty and runs around too much

I keep watching expecting it to improve and it just gets worse, but at the same time I can't turn it off arghhhhh

I am enjoying the new doctor. We've loved all the episodes so far but I must admit, I wasn't very keen on tonight's. Hopefully it was just a one off!

The latest Dr Who is very poor imo but I just don't watch it. The 'OFF' switch is there for a reason.

We love it

Bring back William Hartnell?
