Review of The Drowned World by TheTruestRassilonian

15 January 2025

Solidifies Sara Kingdom as one of thee Classic Who divas, she is an absolute badass. I mean, c'mon now. Carrying on from "Home Truths", Jean Marsh continues to devour the nonexistent scenery, leaving zero crumbs, zero plate, zero anything. If this were solely comprised of her sections, it'd be a five out of five.

However.

It would not be an understatement to say that Robert almost entirely ruins the experience for me. Every bit involving him, every break in Sara's narrative, I find incredibly boring and out of place. The cliffhanger to the first episode, for example, was incredibly rushed, jarring. Went by so fast I was genuinely confused. Would've been a good, even great idea on it's own (given actual time to develop), but was molded with the narrative in a way that hindered all it's collective parts. I can look past it, but only barely.
