F.lux for tv series#
This year marks an experiment for the ongoing series – serialized storytelling.
As our heroes The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and newcomer Dan (John Bishop) try to simultaneously avoid and solve the disaster, they encounter new and familiar foes such as the Weeping Angels, the Sontarans and Ravangers, all of whom have their own plans for the Flux. It’s a shifting, never-ending mass that destroys all in its wake throughout both time and space. It still has some of the characteristics that have bugged previous years, but overall, this is a hit for the Chris Chibnall era of Doctor Who.įlux throws our intrepid time-traveller into her biggest crisis ever – a universe ending event, the Flux, threatens to wipe out life as we know it. The latest series, the show’s thirteenth, or as it has been subtitled, Flux, is a significant step up. There are certainly some successes, despite what some may tell you, but overall, we’ve been left with one series that meandered around until it decided to end, and another which dropped some subtle hints about where it was going, then buckled under its own weight as it decided to reveal everything all at once. With bigoted small-minded idiots taking issue with just about every aspect, it feels bad to criticise when, despite a truly stellar cast and crew, what’s been produced is two series of quite middling storytelling.
What to say about this current era of Doctor Who? Well, you certainly can’t say it hasn’t attracted controversy. A significant step-up for the long-running sci-fi show, despite some lingering storytelling issues.
