Decent performances all around, but still the usual received series problems of the story being rushed through and painfully underdeveloped characters (Pex Jr and the villain in particular were very 2D, and poor Sash 55 was almost comically formulaic).

Saying that I LOVED Belinda Chandra! I got some serious Barbara Wright vibes from her; she looks like she can can really stand up to the Doctor and be a character in her own right!

Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

The Sega Mega CD and the 32x were genuinely great pieces of hardware…but nearly all the games were awful. I love the Mega CD in particular, and I say that as a Nintendo kid.

UK here, stuck with only Channel 4 showing it with the English dub and yikes…that was just awful. There were several times where I thought “That was the best take you had?” While not as unintentionally comical as the “Uzumaki” dub it still just took me right out of the experience. The original Japanese soundtrack has some genuine VA legends including Mamoru Miyano, Megumi Hayashibara, and Koichi Yamadera…while the English dub seems to be a bunch of bored teenagers cold reading the script.

Hopefully Channel 4 will eventually add the original Japanese track, but I don’t think they ever did for “Uzumaki”, or maybe Crunchyroll will get it eventually. I’d rather not have to sail the seven seas.

But for now I won’t be going back for episode 2.
