Doctor Who

The 2024 season of Doctor Who is largely viewed as a successful, energetic reinvention of the long-running franchise. Critics frequently praise Ncuti Gatwa’s charismatic and fresh portrayal of the Doctor, noting his natural rapport with Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday. The series is widely seen as a successful soft reboot designed to serve as an accessible entry point for new audiences under the guidance of returning showrunner Russell T. Davies.

While the reception is generally positive, some critics describe the season as having a rocky start, with certain early episodes characterized as forgettable or tonally uneven. Some reviewers expressed mixed feelings toward the show's experimental shifts in format, contrasting traditional adventures with heavy series-arc building. Despite these varied opinions on individual episodes, the consensus is that the show retains its signature wit and sense of adventure.
