Bludgeoning social matters into everyone’s heads using garbage storylines. Like Time Traveling Space-Nazis trying to sit in Rosa Parks seat…
The constant references to racism, equality, blah blah blah blah…
Doctor Who has always had these things as a subtext to their episodes but that’s what they were…SUBTEXT. They weren’t front-and-center bludgeon you over the head with ongoing social issues shit.
That’s why everyone stopped watching and why their viewership is in the trash.
I think what you’re trying to say is that the social commentary has lost a lot of nuance, as well as the general quality of the writing going down, in which case I agree. Kinda toeing the line of the ‘everything is woke now’ crowd though, to which I would say you haven’t seen/understood much Doctor Who if you think social issues are only recently a part of the stories.
For the record the Rosa Parks ep was one of my favourites for Jodie, but it’s a low bar.
