The Fifteenth Doctor #12

'Eden Rebellion' (2024) from BBC New Series Adventures.

There's undeniably some very interesting worldbuilding woven into this story - and I highly respect its exploration of indigenous cultures in a high science-fiction fantasy setting - however, the story itself feels a little drowned out and muddled in this overly convoluted world it's trying to be set within, and the set of side characters and their motives and relationships, despite seemingly being very present, just feel a touch vapid and uninteresting to me. It's a tricky one to really describe my feelings on outside of "it just didn't do it for me", so I suppose I'll have to leave it with that. Definitely some cool stuff in here though, it just doesn't all come together in the end personally.
