Chibnall is trying to be clever by introducing 6 different plots, 4 different monsters, multiple timelines and a new companion all inside 45 mins.
Instead it was a frantic mess. Too much CGI, characters screaming & running all over the place, and a forced cliffhanger.
It felt more like a show aimed at pre-teens rather than families but with so much happening all at once, even the kiddies would be confused.
And we get the obligatory callback to the Timeless Child, reminding us that (apparently) there were villains and encounters that pre-dated the First Doctor. Again, Chibnall trying to be clever...
Just 8 more episodes til RTD rescues the show.
