Doctor Who — Revolution of the Daleks

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite fun moments and some welcome reunions, Revolution of the Daleks doesn't have the emotional weight to pull off its social commentary and two goodbyes.

Caroline Siede AV Club As a New Year's special... a disappointment. And as a farewell to Ryan and Graham, it's a bizarrely unfocused affair-one that's just about saved by some lovely work from Tosin Cole, Bradley Walsh, and the rest of the cast. Rated: B- Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) Jodie Whittaker is a fine Doctor, growing nicely into her persona, administering a judicious mixture of eccentricity, scientific brilliance and, crucially, tenderness towards her human companions. Rated: 5/5 Jan 4, 2021 Full Review Emmet Asher-Perrin Tor.com The Daleks are usually stand-ins for Nazis, but this year they’re law enforcement. The metaphor goes where it is needed most. Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Tony Black Cultural Conversation Freed of the muddy, mythological contractions of the previous season, this has the space to tell a story about what journeying with the Doctor actually means. Rated: 3/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Kieron Moore Starburst Revolution of the Daleks isn't going to go on many lists of favourite Doctor Who episodes - it fails to delve into its one big idea... But it has a lot going for it - it's a fast-paced, crowd-pleasing Dalek shoot-'em-up. Rated: 4/5 Jan 12, 2021 Full Review Kevin Harley SFX Magazine Between flashes of fun, wit and feeling, Chibnall's semi-festive special is a little piecemeal and under-baked. Respectable, but hardly revolutionary. Rated: 3/5 Jan 6, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Rilf Danielson D Bizarre and insulting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Asf A shitty episode!! really really shitty! but RT taught ~80% score seems legit...audience not even 20%... time to look for a better more trustworthy rating side Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Einad R why, why did i watch this - losing faith that the writers an come up with something that Jodi can deliver Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review David E I would rather watch the kettle boil. More poor writing and a genuine lack of respect towards the franchise. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Erik J I really tried to like this new series, but the writing was awful. As was the new title sequence and music. Jodie Whitaker is a talented actress, but even she couldn't save this show from the abysmal scripts. Over-focusing on "The Message" has destroyed this once wonderful show. RIP, Doctor Who (1963-2017). Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Avery H Another example of chibs bringing back old characters to try to desperately pander to us Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
