I think it was too soon to do a Dalek episode for Capaldi's first series. This would've been better a few more episodes in, seen as we just had Daleks in the Day of the Doctor and the Time of the Doctor.
But Capaldi is fantastic, his cold approach to helping the Dalek is very refreshing to see. You know what you're going to get with Capaldi. Clara is surprisingly enjoyable to watch aswell.
However, this episode suffers from one of the WORST SIDE CHARACTERS EVER. Played by Zawe Ashton, her acting and dialogue is just atrocious. She just ruins any tension in the episode. Pulling the episode down a lot for me. Which is disappointing as Daleks haven't had a great solo episode in a while.
