On Monday April 22, 2019, Mike Powell said to FRANK LINHARES...
MP> A lot of people have been slamming her performance. I think she was
MP> not bad as the Dr. However, I had trouble with the pace of the
MP> episodes and maybe the writing. It was like they spent a lot of time
MP> building up to the resolution and then did not have enough time to
MP> really solve them in a way that I found satisfying. Maybe there were
MP> too many companions to cover?
I thought she was great as a performer. I have enjoyed her in other shows
including Broadchurch which contains a whole host of Dr. Who allums.
MP> I felt like they sort of made it up as they went along more than
MP> previous Doctors did.
New writers are to blame. I much prefered the stuff from the previoud
writing team.
MP> I also liked her quirkiness. I did not like the one story that the
MP> Daleks were involved in. I could not put my finger on it, but it felt like
MP> it broke continuity somehow. The one with the giant spiders, and
MP> the season opener, were both pretty blah. The two I liked the most
MP> were the one with the mirrorworld, and the one with the witches.
MP> So, I cannot say she was a bad Dr., but I can say it was not my
MP> favorite season. It may even be my least favorite of the "new" series.
I don't like the creature of the week style episodes with a smaller long
term arc. They really should go back to a season long arc.
All-in-all, I was happy with her casting and her performace. I would also
like to see the series go a bit darker with their story lines.
