I feel that I should preface this by saying that I am not a fan of The Sarah Jane Adventures: I have up watching it when I was watching it through (I will return to it at some point). That said, I watched this one in isolation and it was a lot better than I was expecting. My biggest issue with The Sarah Jane Adventures has always been the pacing, but this felt well paced throughout. The core idea felt really unique and it kept me engaged. The story also included some nice social commentary which mostly felt like it blended in very well (there were maybe one or two lines that felt a bit on the nose). I did feel that some of Sky's actor's acting was a bit wooden. My largest issue with the episode, though, would be the ending which just felt a bit rushed and overly convenient.
