They need to kill it again for a while. The last two doctors were poor and the writing even worse.
The actors were/are fine.
The writing/directing, not so much.
And this is coming from someone who thought Tom Baker's first two seasons were the best Doctor Who ever.

I think Jodie Whittaker is amazing. Either the writing started going downhill with Peter Capaldi or I outgrew it. I haven't even bothered watching Ncuti Gatwa yet because I want to get all caught up and just can't be bothered yet.
Personally I think she could have been amazing, but unfortunately wasn't, but still good.
It almost felt like she was being directed so much, based on all the controversies going on and everything, that she didn't get to do her own version of the Doctor really, she was very constrained and "boxed in", if you know what I mean? She never got a chance to grow into the role, the way she could have.
And IMO the writing was mostly bad, which didn't help her out any.

Oh, I wasn't clear. I meant SHE is amazing. The writing wasn't for me.
She was a perfect female version of David Tennant's Doctor. The writing was just bad. She was spot on.
Tom Baker was the best
Yes he was. This scene made me catch my breath and hold back tears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn9yJrrm2tk
