Résolution (S11E11)

It takes some getting used to, and after a season of history, satire, and sometimes almost pedantic exposition, here is a special where the strangest thing is that it's not special at all. Seriously, there are the traditional abundant family troubles and relationship strengthening among the main group, but the rest is an episodic, unexceptional, yet fortunately also entertaining and adventurous New Year's spectacle with snow, action, and familiar enemies. After the eras of Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat, it may not even be possible to rise so high, and Chris Chibnall knew all too well why he was so reluctant to take on the role of showrunner. But he definitely has potential, and not only thanks to Jodie Whittaker, his era is taking on an increasingly clear face. (14/05/2024)
