Die britische Science-Fiction-Kultserie wurde nach ihrer vorübergehenden Absetzung im Jahre 1989 von der BBC komplett für das 21. Jahrhundert aufgefrischt und 2005 wieder auf den Bildschirm zurückgebracht. Dies sind die Abenteuer des Zeitreisenden „Doctor Who", einem Außerirdischen in menschlicher Gestalt, der mit einer geheimnisvollen intelligenten Zeitmaschine in Form einer altmodischen britischen Polizei-Notrufzelle, der sogenannten „TARDIS", Raum und Zeit überwindet, um Menschen und anderen Lebewesen zu helfen, fehlgelaufene Ereignisse zu korrigieren und ganze Zivilisationen zu retten. Dabei bekommt er es immer wieder mit bösartigen Feinden zu tun, deren häufigste und langlebigste Vertreter die Daleks darstellen, eine aussterbende Rasse von Mutanten des Planeten Skaro. Sie können nur mit Hilfe einer roboterhaften kegelförmigen Außenhülle überleben und kreuzen von Beginn der Serie an immer wieder die Wege des Doctors.
Wird der Doctor auf seinen Reisen getötet, kann er sich vollständig regenerieren und tritt dann mit neuem Aussehen und auch verändertem Charakter in Erscheinung, was aus produktionstechnischer Sicht zur Folge hat, dass man den Hauptdarsteller der Serie immer wieder nach einigen Staffeln problemlos austauschen kann. Um auf seinen Reisen durch Zeit und Universum nicht zu vereinsamen, nimmt der Doctor immer wieder Begleiter mit, die ihm bei seinen Abenteuern und über mehrere Folgen und Staffeln unterstützend zur Seite stehen. Meist handelt es sich dabei um Menschen von der Erde, manchmal aber auch um humanoide Lebewesen von anderen Planeten, einmal ist es sogar ein Roboterhund. „Doctor Who" ist ein wichtiger Teil der britischen Popkultur und steht im „Guinness Buch der Rekorde" als am längsten laufende und erfolgreichste Science-Fiction-Serie der Welt, gemessen an Einschaltquoten und dem Vertrieb über andere Medien.

Die Zeit des Doktors (2013) (S07E16)
At last an honorable departure for the latest incarnation of the Doctor. The first time it was forced hurried change and the second time a ridiculous parody of itself. And Moffat almost bit off more than he could chew. The grand finale of the mythological storyline where all possible monsters of the past gang up against number Eleven (or Twelve? I just can’t keep up...) over the course of one single hour. Still, it doesn’t seem like over-cluttering, but more of a fateful culmination of all of Moffat’s more and less successful efforts of the past three seasons. The greatest hitch is the length; in view of its scope, it could have done with a few minutes extra. This way, the time jumps to Trenzalore are a bit rushed and fruitless. But in spite of this it works, primarily thanks to thanks to Moffat saving the day not with epic magnificence which would seem to be the most obvious solution in view of what is at stake and of the Doctor’s adversaries, but through a basically simple but functional intimate tearjerker.

Season 8 (2014) (S08)
Deep Breath (8x01) 4/5: Capaldi's opening night pays for too lengthy footage. The footage of a regular episode would be more appropriate. The first comedy third is fun, but it has too much space, it is treading water and doesn't progress. However, once after entering the restaurant the movie switches into serious mode, all you have to do is take a deep breath and hold it breath along with the characters. Not only because of the great gradation and escalating tension, but mainly because for the first time ever, Clara is a full-fledged character and not a frightened-looking decoration. Into the Dalek (8x02) 3/5: An unfinished copy cat of the Innerspace/Fantastic Voyage, especially the middle "from nowhere to nowhere" part is sloppy. The best part about the whole thing is the prologue, no matter how nice the following of the trend of the Moffat era is, when Daleks are used in a fresh way. And Rusty was supposed to end up as the Doctor's companion, no one will talk me out of it. Robot of Sherwood (8x03) 4/5: Pulp canapés, nothing more and nothing less. Listen (8x04) 4/5: Once in a (long) time, Moffat switches to "god mode" and produces a memorable timeless episode such as The Girl in the Fireplace or Blink. This one has potential to become just such an episode. What a pity it faded away. Time Heist (8x05) 4/5: Heist genre movie that is too much based on "who and why", although it becomes clear quite soon. The Caretaker (8x06) 3/5: It is a pity that it did not remain purely civil also in the second half. This time, the forced sci-fi element doesn't fit, not even remotely. Kill the Moon (8x07) 3/5: Another of those episodes that don't live up to its name. This time, however, the final quarter is mainly to blame. Mummy on the Orient Express (8x08) 5/5: Are You My Mummy? strikes back in an episode that, although, seems to be just a mix inspired of Voyage of the Damned and The God Complex, but is much (but much!) better, more sophisticated and advanced than anything in the last two seasons. Agatha would be happy. Flatline (8x09) 5/5: Killer graffiti in an episode that gives the whole series a whole new dimension, because, among other things, it proves that the Doctor represented by a female would not only do the job, but would also be a benefit. In the Forest of the Night (8x10) 4/5: (Not) A fairy tale that is completely flawless up to the moment of a planetary phone call and after that it is completely wrong. Dark Water (8x11) + Death in Heaven (8x12) 4/5: This will be disturbing... RIP. It's surprisingly unsurprising and straightforward, but at least not silly, considering how big importance creators attach to the big exposures/revealing related to the whole season. From Moffat, it's an unusually "Daviesian" style ending. Anyway, it’s brilliant, except for the setting account scene in the cemetery. Instead of gradation, it stops and makes everything fade away... However, much of this was remedied by the infinitely sad final scene in the café, whose far-reaching impact would be completely taken away the two of them ever see each other again in the future. Last Christmas (8x13) 4/5: See profile of the special.

Hereingeschneit (2014) (S08E13)
A Christmas special that, through Sandman-like facehuggers, attempts something quite similar to an episode of Amy's Choice back in the day. However, despite the undeniable qualities of this Holiday Alien Beginning, it managed to do it better; and more subtly.

Season 9 (2015) (S09)
Prologue + The Magician's Apprentice (9x01) + The Witch's Familiar (9x02) 4/5: There is only one flaw. Namely the first episode of this double episode. It's not absolutely bad, but it's kind of packed with average padding. What would really help would be to add some ideas and excessive twists from other episodes that are full of these and which are undoubtedly one of the most successful of the of recent seasons in terms of storytelling. Under the Lake (9x03) + Before the Flood (9x04) 5/5: The first half as a classic Doctor 's plot "cut off from civilization with a pseudo - supernatural element" in the horror guise and the second half is playing with time paradoxes. In both halves, it is so much fun and it’s so packed as nothing else for a long time. The Girl Who Died (9x05) + The Woman Who Lived (9x06) 3/5: Considering how crucial the episodes are in terms of playing out potentially supporting storylines for (not only?) this season, they hardly could have used more mediocre and dull episodes. And Maisie fails in handling her promising character. The Zygon Invasion (9x07) + The Zygon Inversion (9x08) 4/5: Why does peacekeeping always involve killing? Sleep No More (9x09) 2/5: Bam, bam, bam, bam Mister Sandman, bring me a... Found footage from a man with transparent glasses. Ambitious in terms of format and story line, where it is nice that the format is not an end in itself, but it does not change anything about the truly uninteresting characters and the boring course of the movie. Face the Raven (9x10) 5/5: Doctor visiting Příčná Street. A visit that turns into one of the best "mythological" episodes of the last few seasons. Heaven Sent (9x11) + Hell Bent (9x12) 5/5: Last time, was the Doctor running around Příčná Street, this time he is wandering around depopulated Hogwarts in a one man show variation on It Follows to end his journey in the best, most personal and most intimate finale of the nine seasons so far. The Husbands of River Song (9x13) 5/5: See profile of the special. The Return of Doctor Mysterio (9x14) 3/5: See profile of the special.

Besuch bei River Song (2015) (S09E13)
The least Christmas-like Moffat's Christmas specials, but what is missing in terms of the Christmas atmosphere is made up in the stylish of over the top staff. Above all, the first half is one big adventure ride. In the second half, it deviates significantly from the established course towards melancholy, but it is not to the detriment, although the change in style does not suit everyone. In addition, it is all raised to a higher level thanks to the central duo. Not to mention it's not on celluloid, otherwise it might have to ignite because of so many sparks between them. They are unbelievably good together, it would be a sin to be committed to this special if the special will have not have a follow-up.

Die Rückkehr von Doctor Mysterio (2016) (S09E14)
I don't know what's sadder: the fact that this is the weakest (but not weak) Christmas special in many years, or the fact that it's still almost enough to be the comic-book film of the year. By far the best part is the prologue, it's the pure essence of the Doctor.

Season 10 (2017) (S10)
The Pilot (10x01) 2/5: He's good. She's good. There is no plot. I am not saying it´s not good, it is simply missing. I understand that they wanted to devote enough space to the new companion and approach it from her point of view, but to write "a puddle that is not a puddle" and to end it like this, it is simply not enough. Smile (10x02) 3/5: It's very... Lovable. An idea and a start comparable to Silence in the Library, emoji noJamie Vardis sent shivers down your spine, the Valencian design of the colony is magnificent, but the creators were not successful in terms of making a functional whole out of these elements. In addition, the plot, story line, point and the way everything ended up is an unworthy copy of The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances. Thin Ice (10x03) 3/5: "Delayed anger fades away, it melts like brittle ice." One of those potentially not only mediocre episodes that would use a striking half-hour, but in terms of the whole footage and does´t go smoothly and there are sometimes blind spots. The only thing that keeps it afloat, I mean, above the ice are the one liners when Doctor and Bill are becoming closer. If it weren't for one really impressive speech, it would be an episode you will hardly remember, at least until the start of credentials. Knock Knock (10x04) 4/5: "Freaky Scooby Doo house." In terms of structure, this episode explicitly calls for being the first episode where Bill meets Doctor. It would definitely be more stylish than only above a malicious puddle. In any case, a really good use of genre clichés, especially in the first part. On top of that, magnificent silent competing Suchet and Capaldi. The only drawback is a mediocre, doctoral style impression and an unused "returned knock on wood". Oxygen (10x05) 4/5: The invisible hand of the market is capitalistically driven by the vacuum through autonomous robotic space suits with corpses in them. Well, just go for it. Each season must have its episode on a space station with the rest of the crew in life-threatening situation. Most of these "profile" episodes are successful. However, few of them are great, if you strip away politically motivated content of course. Extremis (10x06) 4/5: An excellent premise, a magnificent balance of chillingly disturbing moments (and it's not just about those zombie monks) and funny moments (pope in the bedroom!). From Nardole, it is improving episode by episode and it´s becoming much more than just "second-rate comedy sidekick", high stakes, tangible tension and perfect gradation. And then comes the final contradictory twist, which makes me confused, whether it's a cheap shot or an infinitely sophisticated play with a narrative cliché. The Pyramid at the End of the World (10x07) 3/5: Love is consent. The start and finish of the episode were successful, but what is in between is only mediocre. Sadly.
