Review of The Clockwork Swan by twelvesoswald

Okay, so, I really didn't enjoy this. I'm quite devastated tbh as the first episode really worked for me, but this didn't on so many levels. Why did they insist on the Master maintaining the fake accent for over half of the duration of the episode, which also really dragged on imo. It really took me out of it, if it had been a few minutes fine but over 30? It was just OTT and not in a good way. The Master being part of a murder mystery, great concept, but ofc the predictable route is he's behind it which... I didn't like either. They could've done something really clever with this, I really didn't like how predictable it was to figure out what was going on. Sacha is great, he's done lots of BF work before so he's great at voice acting, and I could listen to him read the phone book quite honestly, he's got such an amazing voice. That's maybe partly why I was so annoyed at the accent for so long, it just idk didn't suit him. I didn't care for the side characters in this at all either, unlike the previous story. Unfortunately it just didn't land with me, but that's just my opinion!
