Ncuti Gatwa Delights in Disney+’s Audacious and Adventurous ‘Doctor Who’: TV Review


Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson make for the perfect pairing in Disney+'s take on "Doctor Who."

The ancient alien and his latest companion, Ruby Sunday ( Millie Gibson), embark on a vibrant season jammed with all the magical elements that have made the show a British television staple for 60 years. Since the Mesozoic Era wasn’t exactly human-friendly, their stay is brief, and they catapult into the future, landing in the 22nd century on a stinky space station run by a group of talking babies. While the episode is full of adorable tots and one very special guest star, its critiques of forced birth and Western societies’ refusal to protect children also resonate.
