I heard that there's a new batch of writers for this one. I don't have high hopes.
I cannot imagine how tough it is to write a script for Dr. Who. I stopped watching not long into Peter Capaldi’s entrance. Not because I didn’t like him, but because Netflix (who I dropped) stopped streaming new episodes.
The tough part of writing the show is that there are tons of backstory that the Whovians know, and there would be a major revolt if something was done improperly. I’ve met a few Whovians, and it’s nearly a religion to them.
My wife and I gave up a couple of seasons ago also. We tried an episode last year and the companion was a rapid gay. We didn’t finish the episode.
