Started 13-MarFirst ep goes nowhere...
Eps 2,3 and 4 aren't any good either.
The new style is plinky, plonky with pantomime costumes and staging. Pickering and Ventham (and probably Mark Greenstreet) seem to be out of place by taking it seriously.
O'Mara spends her time vamping it up, Langford is like a squeaking wig, McCoy as the new Doctor is like a cartoon.
Characters are nowhere near realistic or relatable.
The effects are newly sophisticated. But it makes stale, rotten fruit merely shiny. The animatronics in the lead Tetrap are innovative (for DW) and so is the bubble trap in p1, p2. Both have an admirable air of technical achievement but simultaneously they seem wasted.
The good news is it's NOT the worst ever. I think Twin Dilemma is gonna be hard to beat.
But this is dreary and silly.
