‘Doctor Who’ TV Review: New Season Sees New Time Lord, New Disney Partnership, The Beatles & A Lot Of Joy In The Tardis
Ncuti Gatwa is the new Doctor, Russell T Davies is back as showrunner & the 15th Time Lord is full of fun
That effervescent point is made clear in the (kinda) Beatles co-starring “Devil’s Chord,” one of two episodes that will drop on Disney+ on May 10 at 4 p.m. PT, as the Doctor and companion Ruby Sunday ( Millie Gibson) take on the powerful Maestro (played by RuPaul Drag Race Season 5 winner Jinkx Monsoon) to return fun and some boogie woogie to a dank world. With the added cash and cache of a Mouse House partnership and platform, the result matches Davies’ talent to ring a bit of alt-history nuclear winter, a dash of Beckett, a pivotal Fab Four, a lot of babies, some song and dance and an ambitious narrative canvas. Having been introduced to the show with Tom Baker’s fourth Doctor and a lot of trips to the famed BBC quarry as an alien landscape stand-in, I can say the production value of this Disney enhanced 14 th series is a main character unto itself, for the handful of episodes I’ve seen so far.
