Regardless of whether fans agreed with the casting of a female doctor or not - the root of the problem is that the quality of the show has plummeted.
I've been a fan of Doctor Who since the 1960s. My favourite was Jon Pertwee. I was curious about where the show would go with a female doctor. Unfortunately, Jodie is horrendously miscast in the role. Had the actor or actress been chosen on suitability and merit - it could have worked.
I find Jodie's characterisation irritating and painful to watch. She plays the role like a skittish children's TV presenter. Jodie is also very good at playing sad mopey victims. She's built her career around those parts. But she doesn't possess the gravitas or authority to play The Doctor. Admittedly, the writing, direction, and costume don't help.
I almost feel sorry for Jodie. She's obviously surrounded by SJW sycophants telling her that she's amazing!
The Political Correctness within series eleven hasn't bothered me as much as the mediocre writing.
However, the politics surrounding the show are infuriating! Reactions to the show, with the SJW and Third Wave Feminist arguments about toxic masculinity within the fandom are just annoying and ridiculous. Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill have both made comments to disregard and misrepresent fan's opinions. It's disrespectful.
I wish we could scrap all this feminist soapboxing, PC censorship, and virtue signalling, and focus on making a better show with a new cast and better writers.
People commenting on how brave Doctor Who was bringing up mental health issues, but they didn't. They bring up a hospital in ancient Syria, inform us how great they were, and then kill off all the patients and staff. Aliens cause bad dreams, causing feels, then the Doctor has no empathy for Graham. Couldn't be bothered to provide even false reassurance. They probably created a new mental health phobia with fingers in ears. Next week on Who, we will address. in an all new PSA.
Doctor who free full.
