This film feels a little confused, and doesn't really make good use of a potentially enthralling world of diversity in the affected. The main story focusses on illness of Spike's mother, and his desire to heal her with a known doctor. This takes a particularly dark and unnecessary turn , leaving you feeling the whole thing was ridiculous and weird. I feel opportunities were missed in terms of the Alpha, if the first one had killed Spike's father on the bridge and then avenged by him, than that surely would have made a compelling hook. Potentially pushing the mother's illness a secondary story. Naming the next one should be interesting as were 28 days after 28 years from 28 weeks and 28 days later or more at this point...

The new doctor is overly dramatic, overly emotional and just not timelord material. The best episode of the season barely featured him. Which I think shows the dr's companion Ruby Sunday is the only thing holding the show up. The rest of the episodes largely pander to woke agenda issues. The usual emotionally stunted paradoxical mix of benevolent saviour, and malevolent destroyer is lost on this blubbering fool of doctor, who can't stop crying it seems ...

A bit too much back and forth for my liking, often leaving the present secondary and far less important . Forgettable characters and a lot of largely uneventful episodes
