TW: Domestic abuse/violence
A marked improvement from the previous episode and far more tense, the character development in this story is just as great if not better than before. The whole vibe is a lot more atmospheric and felt a lot scarier, and I found it really interesting that the villain was a human this time instead of the Zygons. It felt so good to see Freddie get what he deserved, and the plot twist at the end with his own father throwing him into the fire was just phenomenal. I was initially apprehensive to see such a sensitive subject tackled in a Doctor Who story as usually that kind of thing's for Torchwood, but it was handled well, and Mooney and Pringle always give these kinds of stories the respect and care they deserve, which is why they're some of my favourite Big Finish writers
