Review of 73 Yards by RandomJoke

This review contains spoilers!

I am speechless, unlike Boom I am a bit unsure where I stand on this Episode, but I must say directing wise this might be my favorite out of the new ones we had so far. The Location Filming is wonderful and there are a lot of great shots in it.

The story itself: I think the concept with the Woman in the distance was delightful unsettling (especially for me watching it at around 1 am in 2024), I must confess I am unsure on the ending, but overall? This one really did it for me. I think this one really helps to flesh out Ruby’s character for me and makes me like her more. Compared to how I felt after the first two Episodes, where it felt like she and the doctor had their banter too soon. (This is more a script problem, Millie does an incredible job and I really like her performances so far).

I will say I am a bit conflicted on the political Side of the Story. I do like it and I do like how both Plots collide with another one, but it's certainly the weaker of the two. Still there is a lot to like with it, and it fits very well with a Horror Episode, I mean what's more terrifying than a Politician who would start a War? While I was unsure about it first, with each Rewatch, I start to grow fonder and fonder about this whole Storyline.

Not everything worked, but when something worked, ohhh it worked!
