BOO!
It’s been a while since I watched Smith/Capaldi era. I do remember getting bored by the later Pond storyline, but I remember liking Clara, although I don’t remember if that took until Capaldi.
I definitely remember liking Capaldi in general while watching, but I recall fewer episodes. So they probably didn’t stick and were weaker stories.
I did skip most of Whitaker for similar story related reasons.
Ncuti is fresh in my mind however. And the “Wild Blue Yonder” special, which is fantastic Tennant Doctor, puts me right in the mind set you’re looking for.
Ultimately I think we’re heading towards that level of quality. I think the debut episode (The Church on Ruby Road) is a solid start. I think the first regular episode (Space Babies) is an odd one. But the one after that (The Devil’s Chord) is great.
I think it’s worth it, but if you’re not sure then give it 3 episodes (or skip Space Babies and watch it later if you enjoy the others).
The newest season of Who with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. As with any new Doctor it takes a bit before they get it right and as with any season it has ups and downs. But overall? I really enjoyed it and look forward to his return.
