Isobel Lewis Independent (UK) We're clearly gearing up for an ambitious, complex series with interweaving timelines and it's interesting to see writer Chris Chibnall play with form before bowing out alongside Whittaker. Rated: 3/5 Nov 1, 2021 Full Review Jessie Gender Jessie Gender YouTube Channel An absolute mess that never manages to fully cohere into anything worthwhile, but at least its constant chaotic energy and the actor's earnest talent means you'll never be bored. May 30, 2022 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ There's enough intrigue posed by the premise and Whittaker's 13 boasts just enough chutzpah and deadpan delivery of throwaway one-liners to ensure it's worth sticking around. Nov 1, 2021 Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority "The Halloween Apocalypse" ends on an impressive cliffhanger, and I'm intrigued by this season's premise and overall direction.

Fan O This season is the first season of 13's I enjoyed. Would I call it especially good or deep? No. But it was fun, and I missed that. I would recommend it to anyone, as long as you aren't expecting to particularly care about it much. A lot of it was pointless, but I liked it anyway. Yaz was much more of a character this season and in the specials, which is another reason I enjoyed it more, and Dan's humor was enough to endear me to him at least a bit. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Short and sweet: - Jumps arround from one side of the galaxy to another even other scene preventing you from knowing what's what. - Too much going on you can't develop a relationship with any story. - Lazy explanations to justify half baked ideas. - Somehow half the universe is in peril and I can't seam to care. Most likely because I've been bombarded with information and given no reason to care. - Made classicly proven, formidable enemies to look like push over wet noodles. Just feels pathetic. Things just happen, and becusse there's no time to develop that relation ship, things die and I'm just like, oh okay, meh. Don't waste your time. This guy has never wrote for Sci fi properly and it's shows too much. There's nothing smart, interesting or worthwhile going on. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Justin B While better than season 12, Flux tries to be brave but falling flat due to the failings of Chibnall as showrunner and his inability to inject any semblance of character into the Doctor. A messy, childlike season. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Jonathan T I gave it a try... Yep, it was as bad as I heard it would be. Can't recommend this 'show'. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Daniel R I think if I could give 0 stars I would, this got worse and not better - BBC has disappointed me again, and now I give up on the franchise until they get the hint they’ve gone too far in the wrong direction. Burn it down and clean house. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Nothing like the show used to be. It started going down hill when the doctor turned into a soccer mom. Now it has slammed into a tree and burst into flames. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
