The latest episode was interesting in taking modern teenagers of colour back to segregated USA, but I thought there was a bit too much artificial conversation to explain the atmosphere of the time and there was too much general rushing about. The use of the sonic screwdriver needs to be scaled back a bit as well.

I'm still optimistic, but it does need to settle down a bit.

I have nothing against the messages they are trying to convey as such, it's just not what I watch Dr Who for.

I am a little surprised how convincing Jodie is, somehow it still feels like the doctor to me. Even that accent somehow works.
