Moffatt is back as the show runner, so the new Tennant specials were pretty good. I’m optimistic that it will be good again.
Moffats not back. Also, the new specials were the same tier as plenty of Chibnal’s run (ie ok to decent). People are just nostalgia goggling themselves for Tennant/Tate.
Whittaker’s really good, she carried her run until the Flux, which I watched for the first time last week. It was shit, even she couldn’t save it. It was so bad that the Tennant episodes that follow it are better in comparison, despite them being pretty poor and repeating themes from RTD’s run, like he didn’t have any new ideas. A mysterious monster from the void of space that steals your voice and turns into you? That’s Midnight.
I don’t really get everyone’s problems with Flux, personally. Was it perfect? No, but I’ve watched it twice now along with the prior seasons and it feels at least on par.
