The Thirteenth Doctor
The Thirteenth Doctor stirred up stuff by being a woman — Oh, my! — and having companions who weren’t all just white, English dudes — Say what?! ‘Is this even Doctor Who anymore?’ some ask. Well, yeah, duh, you idiots, of course it is! Say what you will about Whittaker’s Doctor, the show took on a new, often refreshing tone with Chibnall as show-runner. We just wish The Doctor didn’t use her sonic all the bloody time and that some of the episodes were a little better written…
