Iron Fist; boring beyond belief… the main character (Finn Jones) is the just boring all over. He keeps claiming things like: I’m the weapon, I’m the greatest warrior ever, I trained for 14 years in every martial arts technique… but he constantly gets his ass kicked. Every single thug fights better than him and he never uses the fist part from smashing it into the ground… pathetic. He’s the weakest character in the entire series and his acting is just appalling. The only thing that makes it worth watching is David Wenham In season one. Overall very happy they decided to end the show before it got even more embarrassing…

I honestly hadn't heard of it prior to the show, which is shameful for someone who enjoys reading so much. Definitely loving it though!

I'm never going to do this again. Thank you for the kind words, and it's great to hear your story about meeting Chibnall. Although I'm not a fan of the era myself, I know a lot of people who enjoy the Chibnall episodes, and I'm happy for the people who are enjoying it. I'm sure Chibnall is a lovely person, it's just a shame I'm not a fan of his writing. I do hope his 5 year plan that he refers to has a satisfying conclusion which can hopefully reunite the divided fandom. It was definitely nice to have a series where the big reveals weren't spoiled months beforehand. Could you imagine how exciting series 10 would have been, had we not known about the return of Missy, John Simm and the Mondasian Cybermen? I love series 10 anyway but those would have been huge revels if the BBC didn't spoil it in trailers. I'm definitely happy that the spoilers are being kept well under wraps in this era.

Where does Series 12 rank in the modern era? Marginally above Series 11 but below Series 1-10. There were 3 good episodes, 3 average, 3 bad and 1 atrocious. But this series has made a lasting impression. Picture a 5 year old girl going into the sitting room to see what her two older brothers were doing. She had to be quiet as they were about to watch TV. So she snuggled up next to her Dad and watched Doctor Who. Her first episode was Tom Baker's first. She was captivated. She mourned the show ending in 1989. Watched the 1996 episode. And rejoiced as an adult when DW came back in 2005. But the last 2 series have been more of a chore than a pleasure to watch. I have absolutely no excitement for the seasonal special or Series 13. I probably won't even bother watching. I'll be back when Chibnall has gone. I'll just be happy watching earlier re-runs.
