Go to Disney+ to find that, huh, Disney now has the streaming rights to Dr. Who. Wait, The Doctor is now a black man? What? That's not right. Last I saw, Whittaker regenerated into Tennant who is, quite famously, not a black man. So I had to track down the episodes I somehow missed. I'm not going to complain about the "wokeness" of the episodes; anyone doing so has apparently never seen an episode of Dr. Who through the entirety of its existence. What I will complain about was the ham-handed manner in which they handled social issues at times. But all-in-all, the three episodes were better than the whole of Chibnall's run.
As for Ncuti Gatwa, the aforementioned black man, no complaints. At times I think he's still trying to figure out the character, but he's fine.
The episodes so far, however, have had head-shaking moments that make me question Russell T Davies' oeuvre. A goblin cabaret-style song and dance number reminiscent of Gremlins 2? Really? *shakes head*
