After three episodes of moral grey zones and rising dread, Project Infinity arrives with the promise of revelation. And it delivers—sort of. This is the loudest, most action-driven chapter of the saga so far, wrapping up the immediate arc with gunfire, betrayal, and one last twist. But while it answers several questions, it also asks a few more, not all of which feel earned. As a finale, it’s functional and exciting, but it also feels like it’s in a rush to end one story and start another.

The title concept, Project Infinity, is suddenly important, but the explanation comes late and lands awkwardly.The rebellion, which has dominated the series so far, is revealed to be a decoy from the Daleks’ true goal: inter-universe conquest. The emotional and political heft of previous episodes is somewhat sidelined in favour of sci-fi spectacle. And while themultiversal cliffhanger is enticing, it lacks the weight of everything that’s come before.

Still, there’s a lot to admire here. Sarah Mowat and Gareth Thomas remain magnetic, even as Susan and Kalendorf unravel. Their final scenes together are weary, bleak, and honest—a portrait of two people who no longer believe in the cause but can’t stop fighting. Nicholas Briggs ramps up the tension with confidence, and the sound design goes big with space battles and Dalek armies in full force. But for all its scale, Project Infinity ends not with resolution, but with exhaustion. It’s not a finale—it’s a prelude. The final twist doesn’t offer closure, just a promise that the real story is still to come. And with three more Dalek Empire series to go, that may well be true.
