I'm genuinely confused by this, the current season of Doctor Who has been excellent. The episodes have been memorable, I'm interested in the overarching story they've been building up, solid companions, and a great Doctor.

Let me guess. The Daleks? Or maybe the cyber men?

I gave up when lazy writing constantly pushed to the same boring foe. A giant wheelie bin.

Really loved Blink with the Angels but I got so tired of it. Think I stopped watching around Matt Smith era and he was quite good.

And they do this same thing every new Doctor. They just front-load the first few episodes with the same tired tropes and enemies we've already seen, as if we need to be re-introduced to the same bullshit.

Eccleston - A Dalek appears in the sixth episode in one of the worst episodes I've seen, and they make them a primary element of the last few episodes of the season
David Tennant - Cybermen in the sixth and seventh episode, and they make them a primary element of the last few episodes of the season
Matt Smith - Daleks in the third episode
Peter Capaldi - Daleks in the second episode (hey, can't be worse than Kill the Moon), Cybermen in the last few episodes of the season
Jodie Whittaker - Daleks in the New Year's special (I guess they tried to delay it?)
Ncuti Gatwa - No Daleks or Cybermen, so maybe they learned their lesson?
