Doctor Who is getting there thanks to full-on virtue signaling, post-modernist, identity politics replacing drama and good storytelling more often than not. The last two parter was solid if not for that I would say definitely yes about the past two or three seasons. I am not extremely hopeful for the new season and the casting decision itself is not the problem though if the direction of the series is a clue they will mine it in the worst ways possible as a wink to its increasingly left-of-center, teen & adult audience. I think I watch it more as a completist - though from time to time it can surprise. My daughter is interested because of the casting decision though I really hope what they offer is an example of television appropriate for a 11 year old kid and not like spinoffs like Class or Torchwood which lose some of the fun of the original series adventurous nature with the characters relationships and story arcs as an allegory of some larger social issue rather than the plots moving to the fore.
Spinoffs are like this and the Fear the Walking Dead show quickly lost its appeal and I did not even bother with the most recent season.
Yeah, I am also worried about Doctor Who as well. I will definitely give it a shot, but I am nervous that it will no longer be the same, or will try so hard to prove that a woman doctor is just the same/as good as a male doctor that it comes across poorly. If it works, I will be the first to come here and admit I was wrong. But I really am worried that Doctor Who will not be the same show I have really come to love these past number of years.
