Doctor Who: The Woman Who Fell to Earth (2018)
Quite wonderful
Wow. What a wonderful episode. From the beautiful opening scenes to the ending, The Woman Who Fell to Earth was a quality episode of Doctor Who. I liked the new style of cinematography and Jodie Whittaker was very, very good.
It is disappointing that there are so many troll voters. So many unwarranted 1/10 votes... All in all, a great opener.
Killing Eve (2018)
The best show I've seen in ages
Killing Eve is fresh, fun, tense, and very, very well acted. Two female assassins, great writing, and great direction. 10/10
If Killing Eve doesn't have awards thrown at it this year, something will be wrong :)
God bless you
The Orville: If the Stars Should Appear (2017)
8.5? Really?
I love the Orville, but this episode just wasn't very good. How can you suddenly reveal to a society that everything they believe is a lie, show them the universe, and just walk away. Wouldn't that cause massive uproar?
I liked the cinematography, but this episode wasn't very good. Neither is Pria or the next one with the Krill. But the rest of the show is good.
Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time (2017)
Heartwarming
This episode might not be perfect, but it's just fun, bittersweet, and heartwarming. Capaldi's performance is moving, and arguably one of his best ever. Rachel Talalay's direction is once again fantastic, and although the script isn't perfect, it's still pretty great. I really loved this episode.
For those unsure about having a woman play the Doctor, all I can say is give her a chance. Anytime a Doctor has been chosen, it's because they're right for the role. Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, and Capaldi have all been equally amazing, and I'm sure Whittaker will be as well. When the Doctor changed from Matt Smith to Peter Capaldi, people complained "he's too old," and jumped ship right away. Let's not do the same thing just because the Doctor has changed, once again. We could be missing out on the height of the show's creativity and an audacious new era, or we could be missing out on a mediocre few series, but we'll never really know unless we watch with an open mind, just like we did when we first watched Doctor Who.
Chris Chibnall even asked Whittaker to audition, because he knows her personally and thought she would be great for the job. She's clearly a talented actress (BIFA nominations for Venus and Adult Life Skills and a wonderful, wonderful performance in Paddy Considine's Journeyman), that will breathe new life into the show and hopefully make ratings skyrocket next series. I'm excited to see what she does with the character.
