Andrew Billen Times (UK) Capaldi, we now know, will go out all arms blazing and protesting his head off. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2017 Full Review Kate Abbott Guardian Showrunner Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi have stepped up their game for their last trip in the Tardis. Jun 28, 2017 Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) For many, TV drama will never be the same. Apr 17, 2017 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof We have seen very good female characters in the series and it may be the cornerstone that 'Doctor Who' needs to grow even more in years to come. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 14, 2019 Full Review Charlie Burton GQ Magazine [UK] Taken in full, "The Pilot" was less than the sum of its parts. Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo The point, we think, isn't that the show is too dark; it's that it's too repetitive in its modern form.

Fan O I think some of this season can be a bit boring in the middle, with Oxygen being another Vincent and The Doctor for me where I like quite a lot of it but think a good chunk of it isn't quite captivating enough, and Eaters of Light just didn't grab me. All the same, episodes like The Pilot, Extremis, and the finale make it impossible to give this anything but 5 stars. Bill is a wonderful character throughout and she will remain one of my favorite companions for years to come. Missy's story this season was nothing short of exceptional, and it captured someone who wanted to change for someone extremely well. Smile is an episode I could recommend to anyone, and despite my early comments episodes like Knock Knock are not worth skipping even if I don't think they are as amazing as the highlights. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Justin B While the consistency of the stories may not be as good as previous seasons, its finale, Capaldi’s performance and his relationship with new companion, Bill Potts carry the season. Hewing close to the original series in tone and narrative thrust, season 10 has a lot to love. It also is the first season that felt tired and that the show needed a new head writer and a reinvention. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Jan G This season made me sad to see Peter Capaldi leave us as the Doctor. I thought the interactions between him and Bob were amazing and I would have been happy with another 4 series of those two together. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Asf A this season has its ups and downs... i dint know who the hell is bringing this shitty ideas but they need to stop Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review JinzoCrash Capaldi had a LOT of potential as a real fan of the show, but the writers clearly hate the show. "Bill Potts" character was just "diversity" in human form, not given "character". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Erik J Although this was not my favorite series of Capaldi's era, there are several episodes that are worth watching. Now that DW has been utterly destroyed - first under Chibnall and now with RTD's "The Message" nonsense - this series is looking better by comparison. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
