Doctor Who has returned with a new Doctor, assistant, and showrunner, Russell T Davies. The iconic Tardis and Sonic Screwdriver have also received updates. For devoted fans, this news is thrilling, while others might not find it meaningful. However, even skeptics may find themselves won over by Ncuti Gatwa’s magnetic performance as the Doctor.

Gatwa, known for his role in Sex Education, is a perfect fit for the Doctor. His charisma is undeniable, and his energetic portrayal brings a fresh dynamic to the series. His new companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), complements him well, making their on-screen partnership engaging and fun.

The first episode, “Space Babies,” is a standard introduction, explaining the Doctor’s backstory. While it may not be the most exciting episode, it serves its purpose and sets the stage for the season.

The second episode, “The Devil’s Chord,” is more captivating. Set in the 1960s, the Doctor and Ruby meet the Beatles (though the casting is questionable). The episode is filled with music, intrigue, and a scene-stealing villain played by Jinkx Monsoon. Fans who enjoy noticing small details and discussing them on forums will appreciate the layers of season-long intrigue woven into this episode.

The new series benefits from Disney’s investment, boasting impressive visuals without losing its distinctly British feel. The casting of Gatwa and Gibson is inspired, and their performances anchor the show amidst the endless possibilities of universes, monsters, and villains. With 60 years of history and a dedicated fanbase, Doctor Who maintains its authenticity, avoiding the pitfalls of becoming too sci-fi or detached from Earth.
