Doctor Who Series 8

Doctor Who Series 8 Trailer

I'm a big Doctor Who fan. David Tennant is my first doctor. Then I get to watch Christopher Eccleston and Matt Smith's doctors, which I both like. But now Peter Capaldi as the Twelve Doctor, who is older and much darker, is hard for me to get used to it.

I like the first episode Deep Breath. Good writing as the writer managed our expectations from Clara's (or the viewer's so to speak) POV on adapting to this new doctor.

But I don't like the episodes follow (up to Mummy on the Orient Express as of today). Can't stop the feeling of "I've seen it before!"

It does not have a strong story arch compared with series 5 and 6. It is said that the reason is to attract new audience who have not seen Doctor Who before.

Character-wise, not very promising either. Clara is having an ambivalent relationship with the Doctor. Besides, Pink is not a very likable character. I still don't understand his importance in the series.

I still hope the ending of this series is splendid. Please don't let me down!
