Is Doctor Who Series 11 Bad? 

"Shes the only person in the friend group who has a car" shutup! That's how I made friends in high school

"only idiots carry knives" LITERALLY THE NEXT EPISODE *saves a man's life with a knife* ... Both episodes were written by the same guy

It's evil to kill spiders, but then there's 'Kerblam!'... where it's okay to kill a kid. I really don't understand Thirteen yet and I don't think the writers do either.

The biggest problem for me was that it wasn't fun. Sure doctor who had its writing inconsistencies, but there was never a season that was completely B O R I N G, until there was. Nearing the last episodes of season 11, I wasn't thinking "oooh let's see what's happening this week" but rather "let's get this over with". It makes me sad.

The spider episode especially felt they were trying to force familiarity with the character of the Doctor, i.e. no killing, no guns; however it was just so forced as well as completely missing the mark in terms of being humane.

My problem with series 11 is that it was so boring. The Doctor is just nebulously good, her companions are just nebulously good. Everyone who disagrees with the Doctor is bad. There's no interesting moral conflicts between the characters or in general. When the show does get close to having one they ultimately ruin it by either just cutting it off or having something that just makes no sense. Kerblam is decent up until the ending where it just trips over itself by having a character turn out to be a mad terrorist who wants to kill people and then doesn't, then does again because robots have almost entirely replaced human workforces, and his plan to fix it is to blow up customers with explosive bubble wrap. That's right, bubble wrap. The only other remotely interesting conflict is where Graham wants to kill blue tooth face man for killing Grace, he confides in the Doctor that he wants to do this and feels like he needs to, she then tell him no, don't do that or you can't fly in my box any more. So he doesn't. He 'almost' does but the show has been so bland up to that point that Graham deciding not to kill him is so predictable it's not even funny. Another problem with series 11 is that the Doctor is a massive hypocrite and keeps changing her mind about what she should be doing. She rages at Ryan for picking up a gun and trying to shoot at some mindless, non-sapient, robots. But she has no problem using weapons herself later in the series. She also keeps flip flopping over whether she wants to mess around the timeline of events. It's at its worst in Demons, she takes the whole gang even though it's really only relevant to Jaz. The Doctor tells them they can't play around with time but changes her mind back and forth because her companions decide that they *do* want to mess with the timeline. At the end everything happens as it's supposed to anyway so wasn't even any point really, which describes the demons themselves whose only reason for being there is to watch people die. The only reason series 11 will be remembered is because of the gender swap, aside from that it is just sort of nothingy. It's not even worth getting angry over really. If I was jumping in for the first time, I probably wouldn't watch anymore of the show and I probably would have watched it to the conclusion only because I have nothing else better to do. That's probably the best way to describe series 11.

Don’t forget that season 11 saw the exit of an amazing artist: Murray gold, who had been influencing the show’s tone with his music. Truly great stuff

Kerblam! came pretty close to being a true high point for the season, something like a modern-day Sunmakers or Happiness Patrol... but it totally flubbed the landing by taking the position that capitalism is an unqualified good thing. It spends its first two acts highlighting all of the questionable ways Kerblam! treats its workers, only to spend its final act effectively saying, "Nah, it's fine - oh, hey, look, we managed to monsterize bubble wrap as a tribute to the classic series!" Doctor Who is a series that needs to be better than "Well, at least it didn't embarrass itself." I felt like I was watching a season full of "proof-of-concept" pieces - the bulk of which worked, but didn't go anywhere beyond that. Jodie Whittaker is a great actress (and the concept of a female Doctor is one that is frankly overdue), but Chibnall really needs to get someone on board behind the scenes to do some serious script editing for him, someone with vision and bravery... because that was sorely lacking in this most recent season.

I was kind of hoping 13 would be sort of a reverse 12. I feel like every next doctor is a reaction of the last in a major way, like 11 choosing to reject responsibilities and guilt after how unfairly 10 had to die, or how twelve doubled down on being pragmatic and cynical after centuries of being a buffoon before. I guess I was hoping that there would be a sort of double edged sword to 13's extremely fun and awkward personality. Like, if anything upset her bubbly perspective, then there would be a risk of her snapping and showing a side of herself protective of her companions and her own joy to dangerous degrees.

This video is a breath of fresh air. I'm highkey tired of those "season 11 bad because WOMAN??" videos popping up in my recommended. I adore the effort you put into your videos Quinton, keep it up!

if a hot, cool, god-like being jumped into my life and whisked me off to whimsical adventures I'd probably fall in love.

"If Graham and Ryan had their own time machine they would stop hanging out with her" is even funnier given that Season 12 ended with them noping out with the psychic paper and having their own adventures without The Doctor lol

oh shit i stumbled across an actually decent, balanced video on Dr who s11! I'd heard rumours but never believed them to be true.

"Also, Yaz is there" Feels to me like the new "what about Zoydberg?"

Here’s a note Hartnell made us understand his character within his first 20 minutes. Troughten took one serial to show us that regeneration can work. Pertwee made his impression in 1 episode. Baker managed it within a 5 minute introduction scene. Davison took a while but you always knew where you stood with him. C.Baker did it in his first serial (for better or for worse). McCoy in his first season showed the direction he was going to take his character. McGann has many distinct personas and all feel familiar to me. Eccleston took half an episode and you knew he was wounded. Tennant did it in one monologue after being asleep for the whole episode. Smith again did it in 5 minutes. Capaldi nailed it in the first episode. After 10 episodes, I still do not feel like I understand who she is as the doctor and where her morals truly are.

Good to see someone present a more neutral opinion towards the show, in a setting where you either have to love the show or absolutely hate it

I'm fine with a female doctor and a diverse cast but season 11 is just poorly written. I want it to be good but I just found myself bored and engaged.

My main issue with the 13th doctor is the whole "I'm-so-awkward-cause-Im-an-alien" bit. Like the doctor is like 1000+ years old at this point and has shown a level of basic understanding of basically everything. Like even when past doctors did find something new, they never have had a problem integrating fairly convincing. It makes a more interesting character with potentially infinite stories to tell. The new "humor" makes the doctor less interesting and overall makes the show boring

I have to say, It Takes You Away bugged me because of the total non-twist (POSSIBLE SPOILERS) SHOW: Oh look it's people they loved who are dead. VIEWER: Okay they're not real though. SHOW: No, they totally are real! VIEWER: Interesting, what's the deal then? SHOW: Psych! They weren't real!

The whole thing felt cobbled together at last minute to me - I quite like Jodie and the wider cast and there's bits and pieces of good ideas in there - centring a series around Ryan and Graham grieving over Grace's death and growing closer - but the interesting ideas are so underdeveloped that I never felt like I was going on any kind of journey with these people. Ryan and Graham's growing closer only really happens in a handful of token scenes when the writers remember 'shit we're supposed to be engineering a character arc here' - the most baffling decision of all was putting the episode where they both come to terms with Grace's death and Ryan starts calling Graham Granddad BEFORE the episode where they confront Tim Shaw again and Graham goes 'right I wanna kill him for revenge' - those two episodes needed to go the other way around. it just didn't feel like anyone really thought the structure of this grief arc through

I’m so sad cause I totally feel like they wasted Whitaker. She is a genuinely good actress and if they hadn’t of been so scared for her to express her femininity, or play on the fact that maybe she herself is having a hard time comprehending that she’s a woman now (that would have made a really good first episode) it may have been the best season of doctor who. She’s already proved her acting chops in black mirror, she’s got the talent. Ugh. I hope they do her better next season. One more thing, if they had only focused on historical references in Rosa and demons instead of throwing in sci-fi randomly they would have done much better. Just my opinion.

I find the concept of "history too close to comfort" fairly interesting. Like what is the cut off? Why is WWII always that? It reveals a dynamic introduced by periodization that affects our everyday thoughts. It also shows that 'safe' history is automatically devalued as a result. Not that this is a bad thing, but it has consequences. Historiography can get weird

2:34 dude I wish that were case my mom is always on my ass for getting a C on any of my tests

I stopped caring about Doctor Who after that awful “the moon is an egg” episode from a couple years ago.

0:39 quinton phases out of existence

I was legitimately startled by your outro. I was expecting to hear “And that’s all you bee.”

The twist in Kerblam isn’t good. It’s a shame because the rest of the episode was great.

Finally a new Quimbus video

John Nathan Turner was basically 50% cocaine 40%Hawaiian shirts and 10% Doctor who showwriter

"they turn off the gene that limits the spiders growth. So they keep growing forever." But.... That's dumb though....

I feel like the mark of a good Doctor is when you can gather their new persona from just their first season, and an excellent Doctor from their first episode/story... and an outstanding Doctor from their first few scenes, case in point, Tom Baker. Unfortunately for me, the Thirteenth Doctor is still a vague mishmash of Ten and Eleven with all quirks from either ironed away and with no real points of interest to herself... in a sense, she's sorta like the Fifth Doctor, but even the Fifth Doctor had his moments of unique character and had an impressive send-off in The Caves of Androzani, though I hope Whittaker will get a good episode before her regeneration story. Maybe her tenure will mirror McCoy's, with the tepid first season and then a more engaging run for the remainder of her time. Or maybe I'm just being hopeful.

What's this, a non-Bee Movie video? Unsubscribed.

For me the main problem was the writing, i mean non of the writers had experience writing sci fi shows and it clearly shows

Quinton I love you so much. You always put so much heart into your work. I look forward to every one of your videos. Keep up the great work!!

To all the people who said the new series had forced diversity. England is an extremely culturally diverse country, seeing a Muslim, or a black guy isn't actually uncommon

Did anyone else expect River to be in the mirror world in It takes you away? To be it seemed that all the stars were aligned for it. Alex Kingston said she wanted to come back to the show, the premise of the episode itself, etc.

i loved jodie whittakers performance and the more cinematic aesthetic of the show , the tone was a little off and there were moments of god damn terrible writing, its not the renaissance of doctor who i was hoping would come about when the reign of moffat ended and i think chibnall needs a writing partner, but as you said change is part of the show, i preferred the newyears special to most of the episodes this season so i'm hoping more like that as time goes on

Wow. This is the best analysis of this season I’ve seen. As you said, “worthless” is the most accurate way to describe most of the episodes. They’re not insulting. They are just worthless.

I'm not into Doctor Who whatsoever, just watching to support my favorite breadtuber

imo kill the moon is the worst... except maybe love and monsters.

I haven't personally watched much of series 11, but from what I have seen, it mostly feels like filler (kind of boring, but not bad). Also, with regards to the Doctor and Yaz not getting much personality/development, I do wonder how much of that comes from a fear of being insensitive. Bland and nice isn't going to win you any fans, but at least it's not going to inspire think pieces calling everyone involved "problematic".

27:46 "the final good: the shows future" *Cries in 2021*

"It seemed like a magical school bus episode," that was hilarious.

C+ is barely passing? Whats the point of getting an E then?

I forgot this season was on.

Wouldn't shooting the spiders be more humane because your killing them quickly and (relatively) painlessly, instead of locking them in a room making them die a slow and painful death. (this comment feels redundant)

9:05, 12:21, 17:56 subliminal image of Quinton actually holding a cat

Personally, I think one of the best things in Doctor Who is the Regeneration. cycle. 1: New Doctor shows up: Oh I hate him, he will never be the doctor 2: Oh, a different take on the previous Doctor(S) ok, thats kinda cool 3:OMG I love him. 4: BBC spoils something major, like the Doctor is going to regenerate 5: NO, You cant go. How will this show survive without this actor. 6: New Doctor shows up: Oh I hate him, he will never be the doctor Regeneration can be a reward 3rd: Faced his fears: 5th: Saved Peri 6( audio story) saved everyone by basically killing himself. 9th Saved Rose, who saved the day. 10th: fell out of plane and survived on ly to die saving wilfred. 11th a thousand year exile when it was established that he hated being in the same place for too long. It can also be a "twist" at the end 2nd: executed then exiled 8th: died but was given the choice to go on by regenerating/ magic life potion or something instead, its mostly 1: Too old ( cant blame him, te actor was really ill.) 4th: fell to his death ( less high than a moving spaceship/plane) 6th ( Tv show) had to make a decision between doing his regeneration scene or working that year. He chose the one that pays. warrior: Too old 12: hugged by a cyberman Season 11 has some terrible writing ( looking at you, Guy who fires girl only to bring her up to a room at gun point, to then fire her again, *looks at watch* "15 minute potty break, when we come back, KEvin will escort you off the grounds permanently. " ) But season 10 was a mess. They shoved Capaldis regeneration down your throat, ( Let's have bill shoot the doctor, she dosen't know what regeneration is but at least it will be cool in the trailers) BBC spoiled the return of a character and basically the twist. Bill had the potential to be sooo much more than " Im a black and gay woman" I like matt luccas but he's only in season 10 because he asked. Knowing that BBC dosent pay for re writes it sometimes feels like they just erased a few pages so that they could give Nardole something funny to do. I don't know everything about Doctor who, but it feels like something is missing between S10 and S11. " I am the Doctor, I am over two thousand years old " "You're a woman:" "oh, ok" Man, thats some good character growth. Good thing we were given 10-15 minutes of exposition to tell us about Yazz being a cop ( even though She dosent really act like one. ) Ryan has an illness that is forgotten and Bradley Walsh's character apparently just flips his motivation for dramatic reasons in the last episode which makes no sense. ( havent made it that far yet,) Anyways, Doctor Who is a Reboot in tv form. I hope Season 12 can bring back the fans they lost from the previous season. One day, I honestly hope they kill the Doctor, mid season without it being over the top obvious. Then have the rest of the season adapting to their new body/personality.

A bit of a minor point: the BBC isn't part of the British Government. The government has no control over the organisation and it is funded through a license fee instead of taxation. Based on its charter, the BBC also has an obligation to "inform, educate and entertain", which is part of the reason it includes historical stories as they're seen as educational.

As a woman, I genuinely hated the idea of the Doctor being a woman and the series has not only confirmed my thoughts, but the writing is awful

Each new showrunner brings a completely different language to the way they present doctor who. For me at least this season didn't do it for me. I like the characters but the stories just felt blah

I mostly agree but come on Kerblam was NOT good commentary on Amazon. The good guy WAS Amazon in the episode!

Hi Quinton, I love you and your beard but you forgot the talking frog

This season and for the first time in a really long time, the Doctor didn't feel like a god-like Space Jesus who saves Earth every other week and everyone has to either be scared of or admire and look up at in awe. Just the space hobo helping people any way she can, and to me that felt much more interesting.

It was mediocre!

“It feels like set-up for something much more promising.” Oh poor Quinton. Poor 2019 Quinton. That poor innocent soul.

For me Whittaker simply never felt like the Doctor.

I think that the fundamental flaw with this season is probably the lack of a seasonal arc alarm bad wolf and Torchwood. With the lack of an arc, you aren't going to get constant viewers as there is no reason to watch episode by episode to see if there is some expansion on the seasonal idea. There was one at the end of the season but I've never seen a season finale that came more out of left field (and I had to watch Mystic Force's finale last night).

While I did enjoy this season, not enough to keep up week to week. When I did, I found the characters, and the move to more historical stories very endearing even if it never fully clicked together for me. This seems like the type of season that'll be looked back on with nostalgia in a few years for setting up the tone and presentation for what is to come, and hopefully more people come to appreciate it a little more.

The problem with Jodie Whitaker's character is that Chibnall was writing episodes for this season before the role was cast. It's not just that these episodes weren't written for Jodie's gender, they weren't written for her at all. They didn't take her strengths and weaknesses as a performer into account and so couldn't play to them, resulting in her character being pretty weak in her first season. Because at the end of the day, aside from a few references to her gender which were doubtless thrown in at the last second, she currently stands as a one size fits all Doctor. I sincerely hope that they'll use their knowledge of the performer to their advantage in the next season to actually distinguish her and give her a character worth playing and worth watching.

I used to love Doctor Who as a kid, I had all the annuals, comics and everything. Hardly ever watch it anymore though

And ok I get your point about the Pting, but it being cute and looking harmless was the point, if it just looked like a stereotypical scary monster with the features that it's practically invincible, it will kill you and eat everrything in sight, it would be boring. But adding those characteristics to a thing that is cuter than the Adipose, and then playing it straight faced is the best way to go and I had a dumb grin on my face from beginning until the end

Dude, something keeps flickering in your footage.

Rosa and Demons of the Punjab would have worked better as pure historicals. Kraskow feels like a late addition that had little impact other than to give the Doctor a reason to be in the setting. Punjab had some great character moments that felt dampened in the first half by the aliens that had no part in the story.

extremely hot take: sarah jane adventures > any other doctor who series or spin off

Jay Exci made an Essay about New-and-Bad Doctor Who that is so legendarily good that it’s the Top-Video that comes up when you google ‚Doctor Who’ without ANY other words added.

Why did you buy a pez when you could have bought another Walugi Amiibo

i struggle with falling asleep and lately i’ve been watching your videos while trying to. your voice and content is relaxing and you’ve been helping. i’m thankful for you.

Jodie Whittaker feels like a bad impression of matt smith

My issue is the Rosa Parks episode is that it plays into the shitty narrative that Rosa was a passive and tired worker who just wanted to get home, and that by missing the bus she would never have done her protest. Rosa Parks was a very involved activist who planned out her protest. She was a pivotal part of the Civil Rights movement and removing her agency in it and pretending it wasn’t 100% her plan to do this from the start makes it feel like they’re taking away a lot of what made Rosa Parks so brave- she planned weeks ahead of time to go to jail for her cause.

The most boring experience I had sense Attack of the Clones

The problem with the casting of whoever the fuck her name was, is the fact that they hyped it up as "it's the first female doctor!!!!!!". Doing that is a surefire sign that they have nothing else to advertise, or at least it has been a pretty reliable sign.

That glitchy frame is Quinton's o-face.

Its like how everone hated David Tennant, but then, they loves him, and then hated capaldi, rhen loved him, then hated all of the companions, then loved them, then everyone hated Jodie, she becomes more popular than David Wow

If you ask me, it doesn't have the Doctor Who 'vibe' that the first iconic 3 seasons had.

Remember Harriet Jones? How she represented views opposing the doctor? Without being an evil cartoon character? Good times

Resolution felt very similar to the 10th Doctor novel I Am Dalek by Gareth Roberts. Most likely just a huge coincidence, but I just couldn't help thinking about it throughout watching the episode.

i died at "i bought a pez dispenser for jodie whittaker but instead it just looks like uhh..... hillary clinton." i disagree with rosa though. for me it was the high point of the season and the only episode i watched twice. it was also the hardest i've ever cried in a doctor who episode, except for maybe vincent and the doctor. i honestly didn't think doctor who was capable of making me cry like that again. the ending was definitely cathartic for a ton of doctor who fans as i'm not the only one with this reaction, and malorie blackman really understands her target audience, which is a fucking prize for this season to be honest.

Protip: you dont need to spend 10 minutes separating yourself from racists if you just ignore them entirely

What I liked: The cast More historicals Not framing The Doctor as a Tragic Hero. The IDEA of focusing on Graham and Ryan’s relationship, if only they pulled it off. Demons of Punjab was great. The filming felt more beautiful than any previous season. The Ghost Monument, for example, bad plot but it looked BEAUTIFUL. What I did not like: Little overarching plot. Not framing the Doctor as... anything. Random exposition breaks with no payoff. Boring villains. Cartoonishly evil rather than actually exploring. To the point where it’s a problem. Like, the Rich Guy in the Spider episode. He’s polluting because it’s bad and he’s bad. There’s not an exploration of how pollution is hard to stop because we are so dependent on systems in place, they’re just bad and if only we were good we could stop them. Same argument goes with Rosa, like rather than actually looking at Racism it just characterizes Racism as this one cartoonishly evil character. ((Also, Rosa Parks’ boycott was planned and strategic, making it this contingent thing that could be prevented if the bus didn’t go is almost insulting to her.)) The Kablam! episode was such an ideological heel-face-turn it is damn problematic. The whole show sets up that the (obvious Amazon parody) corporation is awful, then at the last minute reveals the killings are by an young revolutionary who says his “generation needs to change thing.” Thing is, the Doctor is completely unsympathetic to the revolutionary, even saying “The System isn’t the problem.” At a time when millennials are more critical of corporations like Amazon, this felt directly aimed the growing number of young people who are critiquing capitalism. And this one season after “Oxygen” directly critiqued capitalist exploitation! It bothers me because people still respond to the episode like it’s this good critique of corporations- Naaah. You can’t have the episode demonstrate how a company is exploitative and how the lives are dystopian, then have the resolution be “we killed the rebel, and also the bosses are going to hire more human employees more hours.” We don’t see any changes planned for hire wages, more vacation time, ect just “we will increase our quota of necessary human hires to appease this one rebel.” The problems of exploitative working conditions and automation of industries are two separate things, just hiring more humans won’t change exploitative conditions it just means more people will be exploited. Not to go full leftist but like, ideally automation of industries wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t need to depend on the wage system to survive. The episode has this surface level anti-corporation aesthetic and then lands on the ultimate message “the system isn’t the problem we need to negotiate with it.” Obviously I’m a little biased because I disagreed with the shows ultimate message. But from a story telling perspective it’s inconsistent as well. If you’re going to tell a story about how radicalization is dangerous and we should try to be diplomatic in solving issues, there should be more set up for what radicalization looks like and what alternatives could be (Demons of the Punjab does this better with the brother now that I think about it). If you’re going to spend an episode building a world with an evil corporation, there should be some final confrontation moment with the problems displayed. I get the show was pulling a twist, subverting our expectations because we’ve seen the “evil corporation bad” story so many times. The problem with subverting expectations just to subverting expectations is that, if the story has some undercurrent of a critique or an argument, the twist can also subvert the initial critique being made. Not only does this make for an ideologically yucky episode (you thought we were critiquing exploitative work conditions? Plot twist! The real enemy are activists) but it makes for an inconsistent episode in terms of theme. There are valid critiques to be made about extremists/misguided radicals/revolutionaries but this episode makes none of them, we spend the whole episode showing why this corporation is dystopic and then are told the corporation is the real victim.

Quinton Reviews is my favorite BreadTube ally

This is the first review of Series 11 that I've seen that was measured and thoughtful and didn't make me want to burn this website to the ground with its blatant racism and sexism

13 has finally moved on, unlike 9 who was damaged from Time War, 10 who was romantic, 11 who lived fairy tales, or grumpy 12. The Doctor finnaly become mature, which makes her boring.

As a new-who watcher who may have just been spoiled by the writing of Davies and Moffat, the thing with this season that got me was that I spent a lot of it waiting for Thirteen to just have a... Doctor moment. A moment where she gets super serious, makes a big speech and saves the day. A moment you see quoted throughout the fandom and stuff. And like, she did have * some * sorta good moments, like when she remembered herself or when she threatened that one gut in Kerblam, but nothing really too noteworthy. Was waiting for something like that in the Dalek episode, the one where she faces an enemy with literal CENTURIES of emotional baggage with it, and, again, she delivers * something *, but nothing really too memorable

The reason you were struggling so much with the word punjab is that American English has more of a tendency to trochees, where the stressed pattern of a word is stressed, unstressed. Punjab is actually pronounced as an iamb rather than a trochee, so the stress pattern is the exact opposite of what you are used to due to the whole way your dialect of the language works.

I'm glad to see a nuanced take on the season that's relatively close to my own (although my overall opinion is maybe a bit more positive than yours, and I have wildly different opinions about the specifics - Tsuranga and Ghost Monument are two of my favorite episodes in the entire season and I think the Tsuranga monster looking like it does makes that episode a hundred times better, I liked Rosa a lot better than Demons, and I think Kerblam is one of the most terribly written and morally reprehensible episodes of Doctor Who I've ever seen with it's overt apologia of neoliberal capitalism), and I'm also glad that you're optimistic about the future, because I also think the next season looks like it might be a lot better.

I only liked the episode with the mirror dimension. The other episodes felt like they had a forced message and much more bad. The way they got rid of UNIT winded me up so much. Edit: WHY DID JOURNALISTS THINK THE SCARF HAD A GAY MEANING?!?! IT IS CALLED A REFERENCE!

Agree on the 13th doctor just being the most basic aspects of the doctor. One thing I loved was that I always felt uncomfortable being introduced to the new doctor because he was just a very different person! And then we learned to love that new personality, but there's none of that with her.

Big fan of your videos like this! (This being dissecting and more camera based) Also thank you for saying Jodie's last name correctly lmao. Personally I like Jodie's portrayal of the doctor. She's like all my fave parts of 9, 10 and 11.

The End of Time makes me cry every time I watch it I love the campiness

finally a balanced series 11 review as opposed to the atypical alt-right MRA BS reviews I have seen on youtube.

The spiders will kill and eat each other to live longer and then the last one alive has nothing else to eat besides the dead remains of its brother and sisters it will die all alone

It’s a shame because Jodie Whittaker is a great actor, just watch Black Mirror EHOY, she just felt weird and felt through the whole season

I was so ready to enjoy this series. Casting Whittaker and the three companions looked like something exciting and new, and I was happy for Moffat to finally leave. His final season was overall great but I truly disliked most of his run for its shallowness, overstretched plots, and general laziness. But, Chibnall's run has been severely lacking in characterisation and any semblance of good plotting. I really expected better from Chibnall than this after Boradchurch, and after his Silurians stories. But these last couple series, IMHO, are the worst, most shallow, meaningless and lifeless that the show has been since its revival of 2005. My hopes for it have been massively slashed, and that's really sad.

i don't understand don't you have to have a Benis in order to become a doctor? but on a more serious note i enjoy your content Quinton yet when trying to distance yourself from the "toxic" doctor who community you should show comments made by them and point out examples of it so there wouldn't be a reason for someone to argue you are misrepresenting people's opinions

Just to address something that's going on in the comment section. When Quinton makes a mockery of people that are acting as though diversity is the problem with Doctor Who, why are people taking it so personally? I mean, if the boot fits, right? I know not everybody that disliked the series is a racist, he knows that so if that doesn't apply to you, and you're not crying over the diversity of the program, then it doesn't apply to you, so why get heated? He goes on to criticize the show himself. Be real here, if you change Ryan and Yaz to white characters, does it fix the show? No. Does the quality increase even a little? No. So to act as though THAT is the problem is senseless. So really, if you're getting offended by Quinton's rant about those kinds of reviews (And yes, they do exist if you simply wake up and look for them), well, if the boot fits, it fits. I think the most absurd criticisms I've seen leveled against this video have been people now trying to say that Quinton and people like him are racists that are just in denial. What's the logic behind that? So EVERYONE is racist and those who say otherwise are just in denial? Speak for yourselves, guys, really, speak for yourselves. Honestly, if someone criticising those who think diversity is the issue with Doctor Who, gets you all defensive, then it does go to show that there are people who do find issue with it, and if the diversity is the issue...well...you clearly weren't as bored as I was by Series 11.

Okay, I'm one of the first to comment but I know it's gonna be messy so please scroll up! It's not worth it! Series 11 really has brought the worst out of the fandom, regardless on whether or not they liked it.

How is the reveal of Kerblam special or shocking?

There’s just such a presence the other doctors have that Jodie just doesn’t have.

Thanks for still being with us. Keep powering through, king.
