Ditto. At least the overlying Toy Maker plot has been hitting.
I'm too finding it a mix of one really good episode and then the stand-alone, frankly single set piece episodes are merely ok. For a show with a bigger budget, it doesn't feel like some of the episodes have that. Standing on a Roomba in a Void film location is hardly breaking the bank. Same with the Tennant Christmas specials.
Though I guess that's the old school charm?
Overall I'm still much more into it than I have been in a decade.

So why continue to watch, if you do, as its been this same way for 20 years now (longer if you really think about how progressive the original series really was)?

I stopped watching in the middle of Capaldi. I realized eps like "The Girl in The Fireplace", "Voyage Of The Damned", or "A Christmas Carol" (I love Katherine Jenkins voice) were becoming VERY few and far between. Got tired of some of the crap going on with the show. I won't even go into detail about missing Leela
. Am I the only one who can't understand Capaldi sometimes (my family is from the Highlands too)? And it's not just Davies fault, there's enough blame for Moffat too.

Sorry to hear you don't enjoy it anymore. To me as someone who grew up watching Who here in the States since the day it landed on PBS in the 70s, its always been progressive, a mirror if you will, based on the current societal trends. Davies and Moffat just continued that tradition.I stopped watching in the middle of Capaldi.

That explained why it disappeared from the Esplanade here. Although they do have a poster for the show in DCA.

Oh wow. Two really strong episodes! I had this one pegged to be a dud with how they were pacing them out. Very black mirror, a masterclass in body language wrapped in a vapid shiny conceit of a tech story.
I sought out afterwards how people were reacting. And there's almost this strange societal commentary about how the point of the episode was almost not heavy handed enough. Maybe from a naive source of privilege?

I honestly want to reach out to the editorial team with how spectacularly this reviewer didn't get it.

Doctor Who Season 1, Episode 6 – "Dot and Bubble" Review - IGN
While it has some interesting ideas, “Dot and Bubble” struggles to adapt to its Black Mirror-like concept, resulting in a wholly unremarkable episode.
