      Jodie Whittaker was a fabulous doctor. I really liked her whole vibe, her personality, her presentation. I wanted to love that doctor so much.

      But the stories were boring and the writing was lame.

      An otherwise-mediocre show with great writing can still be a huge success, but even an otherwise-flawless show with bad writing will always suck. I’ll never understand why all the TV producers think they can get away with cutting all the corners on writing.

        Same thing with Capaldi. I liked him. His episodes sucked.

        …Missy is the best thing to ever happen to Who tho.

          I would also add that not a single Whitaker episode reached the levels of stupidity of Capaldi’s Kill the Moon episode. That one made me angry, it was so stupid.

          Yeah Capaldi is my second-favourite doctor (after Tennant"). But I’ve watches fewer than half of his episodes, cause the writing had already gone downhill at that point.
