Doctor Who: Flux: Chapter Five - Survivors of the Flux (2021)
Barely survived
I've honestly been fine with what we've gotten so far. Obviously 2 and 4 have been the standouts but Ive at least been engaged with 1 and 3 as well. This is the first time I have to say they lost me. In episode 5 we should be finishing things up, and while there is some of that happening, I spent the first 3rd of this episode utterly confused, and the last 3rd deflated.
I think it's ultimately the editing. There's too much cutting between each storyline and not enough time spent in one place. It's like there was never more than one scene at a time in each location. This remains the case even if we get 3 scenes in a row that are a minute long. So 10 minutes in and it feels like we cut away at least 5 or 6 times and you just stop being able to follow. I think the editing made the individual parts worse than they actually were.
