    Whittaker’s run lost me a few episodes in, but I’ve since gone back and watched it and it was alright. Jodie herself was great so I hope she’ll still return in future collaboration stuff I’m sure they’re get around to at some point. I thought Gatwa’s run was much better, although they completely botched the ending. I can only assume that’s because he left, but it really doesn’t work. (Not blaming him for leaving, they gave him a shit deal by not renewing.)

      It’s been a while since I watched it, but I feel like I remember some kind of jarring religious undertones in Gatwa’s run that felt out of place. It did also just kinda feel a bit Disney, and I’m not a fan.

      iirc the writers found out that this would be the last season with Ncuti so the ending had to be changed at the last minute.
