Doctor Who - Cold War
What people tend to praise:
- Historical setting: The episode is set during the Cold War,
providing a unique and engaging historical backdrop.
- Suspenseful atmosphere: The story creates a tense
and claustrophobic atmosphere, effectively building suspense.
- Strong performances: Celia Imrie shines as the villainous Anya Petrova,
and the Doctor and Clara have good chemistry.
- Classic Who feel: The episode has a more traditional, old-school feel,
appealing to fans of classic Who.
What people tend to criticise:
- Slow pacing: Some viewers find the pacing to be slow,
particularly in the middle of the episode.
- Limited character development: The episode focuses more on the historical
setting and the suspense than on developing the characters.
- Lack of originality: Some critics find the plot to be somewhat
derivative of other Cold War-era stories.
My rating and thoughts:
I would rate "Cold War" a 7/10. It's a well-crafted episode with a strong
atmosphere and engaging performances. The historical setting is well-realised,
and the suspense is effectively built. However, the pacing is a bit slow
at times, and the lack of character development is a minor drawback.
Overall, "Cold War" is a solid episode of Doctor Who that is sure to please
fans of the classic series. It's a good example of how the show can
effectively blend historical settings with sci-fi elements.
