This episode is slightly better than flippin' Space Babies, but not by much.
I was looking forward to seeing The Beatles in this episode. However, this was a major disappointment. First, hire actors that somewhat look like The Beatles. Second, after music was "restored" (or whatever nonsense the script called it), it would have been satisfying to see The Beatles play something reasonable. Maybe copyrights prevented them from playing an actual Beatles song, but at least write a Beatlesque song.
The Maestro was cringeworthy and annoying. I hated every moment the character was on screen.
When Disney (the destroyer of anything good) attached itself to Doctor Who, I thought, "Well, there's another franchise that I like down the drain." So far, these episodes have been confirming my worst fears about the fate of Doctor Who.
Spend more time and money with good scripts and less money with fancy (and sometimes not so fancy) CGI.
