Review of Doctor Who

Doctor Who (2005–2022)
7/10
Gripping seasons, followed by lame ones
26 February 2021
Dr Who is unique, but in terms of score/rating, really needs seasons to be taken separatelly, or at least in groups defined by main actor and series crew. Have not seen the very old series, just this one, starting 2005. So far, each new Doctor after David Tennant's felt obnoxious at the beginning, like having a new teacher at class after the one you loved just left. But slowly each new one earned its place and sympathy - all but the unfortunate Jodie Whittaker Doctor. The lame writing and plots simply tanked her turn at embodying the timeless character, to the point that makes me wonder if the people managing the show in fact hate women, and just made a mess of it all on purpose, while pretending to be pro feminism and stuff. Why are her storylines so bad, and her acting so monotonous? I can think of quite a few women, ex-companions of the Doctor, who brought in 100 times better presence, depth and engagement than her, a reason why characters like Rose, Donna or Clara are still in our hearts up to this day. The Jodie character, on the other hand, and the new producer or writer (the one following Moffat, Chibnall or something I think) simply tanked the show, as far as I managed to watch until completely dropping it.
