I won't lie. I had my issues with the first four episodes. They wrapped up way too neatly for me. Dialogue was clunky and there were a lot of choices I did not like. I also had a lot of problems with "The Giggle" and bi-generation as a whole.
But there was still a lot of great. Especially with the episode "Wild Blue Yonder" which is a masterpiece. Ncuti is an excellent doctor and there is a new sense of mystery to the show. Any of these specials is better than what Chipnall made. There is so much set-up and so much I want to see paid off. As of writing this there are a ton of mysteries set-up: Who is Mrs Flood? Who are Ruby's parents? How will the new master be involved? Who is the One Who Waits? Who is the Meep's boss? What are the Doctor's origins?
I'm leaving a review here for the day in which this new series of Who is also regarded as fantastic. I don't want to make a review just harping on the several flaws of the specials. I know the new series will be flawed, but Doctor Who has always been flawed. It just made up for it with great episodes. Doctor Who has the strange ability to pick itself up again and continue being amazing.
