Review of Genesis of the Cybermen by BSCTDrayden

7 March 2025

Absolutely incredible stuff! Every performance is fantastic, with the supporting cast especially being stand out! I really grew to care about Sylvan and Sega, and their inevitable tragic drift apart.

Every character arc here makes perfect sense and they all flow together and connect.

In a rare moment for a 5 TARDIS Team, all 3 companions get something to do! And they're all great, with me even liking Adric for once! Even if it does take time to get used to Waterhouse's aged voice.

The atmosphere is incredible, with this ever looming sense of dread and inevitability. And the story is beautifully paced too to match.

I also appreciate how, like all the best Cybermen stories, there's a focus on the humanity and the pain of the process, and they aren't just evil plotting robots or whatever!

Agreed with everyone else on the soundtrack.

Finally, I wanna say that every cliffhanger is an absolute cracker here and kept me gripped and wanting to hear more.

Overall, this was [Cyberleader voice] EXCELLENT!
