Part 7/9:
Some viewers, like critic Matt McGloin from Amazon Prime, have expressed optimism, praising the Halloween Apocalypse episode for its villains, homage elements, and the pace of storytelling. He noted that the episode felt quick and engaging, highlighting the potential for the new season to turn things around.
On the other hand, the broader fanbase and critics have voiced frustrations. Many feel the show has lost its spark, citing confusing storylines, reduced stakes, and a departure from the classic Doctor Who tone. The show’s declining ratings reflect these concerns, as casual viewers and long-time fans alike seem less compelled to tune in.
