Review of The Sensorites by dema1020
13 May 2024
The Sensorites is alright enough in terms of a production thing, and easy enough to hand wave away as just a quirk of the series in it's earliest days. Still, it is just so boring. I really barely got through this one and compared to the better stories of this earlier era - like the Pilot, The Daleks, and The Aztecs, it just feels like a much weaker take on Doctor Who. The Sensorites feels like one of a handful of episodes from the First Doctor's era that show what could have been - a weaker version of the show that certainly wouldn't have the same lasting legacy than the full-blown franchise the show ultimately became.
