Oh, boi this one…

Series 2 is probably one of the biggest hit-and-miss Season for me, when it works, it really works, when it doesn’t. OH, BOI.
And this one is a frustrating one. I do love the Idea behind our Monster here and there are some solid Moments with it (the faceless Humans still hold up quite well), but it kinda gets wasted, really.
I don’t think our Leads or the Side Casts give a particular strong performance here. And yes, as many pointed out, the Ending with Rose telling that Kid to keep in touch with his abusive Father is definitely a big point to be critical about.
Despite the poor handling of a heavy subject and the wasted Potential, this one just leaves me mainly bored. Dare I say it’s easily one of the worst Who Episodes for me. Certainly the worst of this Series for sure.
