I didn't enjoy The Daemons as much as others seem to have. On the one hand, there is some fun storytelling to this serial and good world-building in regards to how Doctor Who does and would handle the supernatural (broadly speaking at least) going forward. The Master gets to play cult leader and has some pretty fun moments. The Doctor, Yates, and Jo all get plenty of fun scenes together and Yates in particular feels like a very welcome presence in growing the sense of there being a staff to UNIT.

On the other hand, I hate some of the effects in this serial. Even by Third Doctor era standards, some of these cheesy green screen shots and awful make-up for the Azal. Azal's defeat isn't terribly exciting or impressive, either, just kind of noisy.

What I do like are the quirky characters like Bert the Landlord and Miss Hawthorne, who are both pretty fun, and what I love even more is the actual ending to the Daemons, where everyone dances around the maypole while the Brigadier goes to the pub. That was really fun and cute, and a very nice way to cap off this "Master Season."
