Showrunner Russell T Davies’ new season of legendary sci-fi TV show Doctor Who is yet to premiere, but has already earned itself rave reviews and perfect ratings.
The fourteenth installment, which is being called Doctor Who season 1, has landed a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it undoubtedly a perfect season. Although fans are yet to get their mitts on Davies' new batch of TARDIS tales, critics who have already seen the show have been sharing the love for Ncuti Gatwa’s The Doctor, and we love to see it.
"Gatwa is already perfect as the Doctor. Some Time Lords are a work in progress. He’s the finished article right from the jump," said Ed Power from Independent, while Anita Singh from The Telegraph echoed, "The main asset of the new Doctor Who is Gatwa, who carries the series along with the force of his megawatt charisma."
Our reviewer said, "There's a sense that Davies is not only keen to open the show up to a wider audience, but to push its boundaries beyond defined notions of genre." Read the full review here.
