Well wasn't this a load of crap, never have I seen a Doctor Who episode fail so badly not even Moffatt could create an episode this bad and inconsistent. What can I say that hasn't already been said about this joke of a story, well let's start with a little synopsis.
The Doctor and her crew arrive in Sheffield 2018 Yasmin Khan offers the Doctor some Tea back at her mom's place which The Doctor gleefully accepts. The Doctor along with Graham and his son in law Ryan talks to Yasmin's mom who has been fired from her job due to cleaners been unable to clean the hotel rooms which makes no sense as Yasmin's mom is the manager of said hotel so why is she getting fired? To cut a long story short The Doctor and crew find large mutant spiders at their neighbour's house which Yasmin's mom links back to the Hotel that she formerly worked at. They find out that the Spiders have been mutated by landfill which the CEO of the hotel built over, The Doctor lures the Spiders into the panic room of the hotel by playing Ryan's god awful hip hop music and well the spiders basically suffocate, we don't see this happen of course but this is what we are led to believe. Either Chris Chibnall couldn't find a conclusion for the Spiders or he simply just forgot about them, whatever the case it shows just how inept he is as a writer.
The story is pretty flat and boring there is very little things happening to keep you entertain. If it's not boring then its excruciating Chris Noth who plays the CEO is particularly awful as he is basically playing Donald Trump, Bradley Walsh who plays Graham is the only decent actor here and does his best in what he is given. Tosin Cole who plays Ryan is so bored and uninterested that in one scene he begins doing Hand Shadows during a boring conversation between the Doctor and some Spider expert. Jodie Whittaker gives us her worst performance yet, went she meets with the CEO of the Hotel she does these weird facial expressions and keeps calling him Ed Sheeran for some unfunny reason. The rest of the cast are just forgettably dull, even the Spiders are dull.
The Episode is focus more on the CEO who is nothing more than a parody of Donald Trump, if it's not evident that the SJWs (or NPCs as we called them now) have taken over the show it definitely evident here, people do not want to be lectured by political ideologues or been told how bad Trump is, they watch these shows like this so they can escape from reality, so we don't have to think about Trump. Moreover, I fear this maybe the beginning of the end for Doctor Who as it seem to be more focus on ideology and personal opinions rather than good story telling and it's very likely that the show could be cancelled for a second time if things don't improve.
