        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.

          My previous comment shows one possible reason - I said I didn’t like one of her seasons and now I’m getting downvoted. There’s a ready-made excuse to sling at anyone who criticizes the show.

          I was actually excited to see a female doctor when it was announced, but I’m not going to like a show simply because of the gender or race or whatever of the actors. I saw that the quality of the writing was bad and so I left. The new season hasn’t exactly enticed me back.
