        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.

            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.

          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.
