There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I initially just wanted to dip into this show, ended up watching a large portion of the series in roughly a month. Incredibly addicting, once you're into it it feels amazing to see what the next episode has to offer.

I first watched Doctor Who on the 26th March 2005 on BBC One with my two older sisters. I was 1 at the time (so I can't remember watching it) but my mum told me that I fell silent for the whole of the episode (I was teething at that point so I was uncomfortable). My mum used to watch it in the late 70's and early 80's but then she stopped watching when Colin Baker came into the role as she 'couldn't bear to watch a clown'! My sister saw the trailer to Season 1 and instantly was eager to watch Rose. Now, it is 2018, and Doctor Who has made the most impact on my life out of everything and anything.The first episode I remember watching was The Fires of Pompeii, which introduces the future Doctor, Peter Capaldi. Karen Gillan, who would play Amy Pond in Season 5-7, also guest starred in it. That is still a firm favourite of mine because the story is based on a Latin textbook that I studied at school two years ago. I cried when David Tennant (my favourite Doctor) left and loathed Matt Smith in his first three episodes for taking over my hero's role. However, in Time of the Angels, Matt shone as a brilliant actor and I still really enjoy him today in The Crown. I really started to become aware of the history of Doctor in the months leading up to the fiftieth anniversary; I spent all my summer holidays watching Doctor Who videos on YouTube. I also started to watch Classic Doctor Who episodes. The fiftieth anniversary special lived up to the rest of Doctor Who, though I was disappointed that Christopher Eccleston was not in it.Now on Peter Capaldi's run. I feel so so so sorry for Capaldi. It was his lifelong dream to play the Doctor and he was severely let down by the writing. Deep Breath dragged on for more than 75 mins with unnecessary content. Into the Dalek was better but Robots of Sherwood was dismal. Time Heist was an improvement and I quite enjoyed watching The Caretaker. Kill The Moon was absolutely fantastic in the first segment but after the 25 min mark, it turned to absolute bollocks. I thoroughly enjoyed the next two episodes. In The Forest of the Night was like a bad remake of a new Sarah Jane Adventures episode with ignorant characters and the series finale two-parter was better. Season 9 was much better in my opinion overall compared to the season before that. The writing was marginally better. However, I was extremely disappointed by Hell Bent. It was an unforgiving end to Series 9. Season 10 was worse than Season 9, but World Enough and Time shone like a star. Even after all of this complaining, I love Doctor Who with the entirety of my heart. It's a brilliant show with many genres amalgamated into one successfully from 1963 onwards' it offers horror, comedy, mystery, romance and many other elements. I will forever love it and it will always hold a special place into my heart.

This series is very nice indeed. I have no reason to actually write this review, if you can even call it that.

Doctor Who's 2005 reboot is my favorite show of all time. It's witty, quirky, exciting, adventurous, emotional, and original. I do think it should be a bit more sci fi oriented than it has been in recent years, and a bit more thought provoking. I also like episodes with moral dilemmas, but think that the show should be less outright political than it has been in recent years, although I do applaud Doctor Who's efforts to have more diverse actors and characters, with Pearl Mackie being an incredible addition to the show and portraying Bill wonderfully in her first episode. The more diversity of characters and stories, the better.Peter Capaldi has been an amazing Doctor with amazing episodes, like Listen, Heaven Sent, The Doctor Falls, and the Husbands of River Song. I am extremely excited for the 2017 Christmas special and for the unmissable and historic event of Jodie Whittaker taking on the role, the first woman in history to do so, who also happens to be an incredibly talented actress. I only hope and pray that the BBC realize that this is their biggest marketing opportunity for the foreseeable future, and advertise it accordingly. In the future I'd love to see Pheobe Waller-Bridge as the Doctor, but as of now I'm incredibly pleased with the choice of Jodie Whittaker for the role.Although it can be campy, cheesy, and it's not always great, I recommend that everybody watches Doctor Who! It's inconsistent (hopefully Chibnall can fix this) but when it's good it can be amazing. God bless Doctor Who! Here's to 54 more years!
