Apart from some retroactive lore contradictions to stories which came later, I liked it. Out of the three "Doctor has a somber conversation with the villain" this worked the best.

That's because they Human Natured the Master. That's it. Plain and simple.

There are of course silly moments. The Master was created by Death itself, for example. The long conversations about nurture vs nature that are just one statement repeated over and over.

Yet I can't help but love these bittersweet conversations between the Doctor and John Smith. There's such a profound respect.
