Review of The Aztecs by RandomJoke

15 December 2024

This review contains spoilers!

While I greatly enjoyed most of the Episodes we got in this Season, I don't believe there were that many 11/10 Stories for me (surprisingly, since I am big on the Hartnell era). Marco Polo as great as it is, but suffers from being missing, thankfully this is still completed and what a watch!
Jaqueline Hill plays the role of Barbara already superb, but this one is a great showcase for her Character. At times I find myself having only minor issues, sadly Susan gets the short stick again and her “Subplot” isn’t very interested. The other leads get a lot of great things to do. Especially the idea of the Doctor accidentally getting engaged is entertaining and actually does work pretty well I must say. A true treat for any pure historical fans filled with a good sense of action and humor! Easily one of the crown jewels of this season, not sure if I prefer this or Marco Polo (as much as I love the latter, it can suffer from its pace a slight bit, this one is paced perfectly with 4 Episodes, no complaints on here.
