This review contains spoilers!
The individual stories either need to be shorter or more interesting. As they are, it's a long walk to get our three doctors together. The final act is quite fun due to their interactions but I want more from the conclusion.
The concept of the Sirens of Time fascinates me but it would be better if more time was spent on them in each individual story. Furthermore, I'm not sure the Time Lords ever fully factor in to the plot in any meaningful way. There is a lot of narrative potential here with The Doctors grappling with how their actions have reshaped history, how they've been outsmarted and almost beaten. But these moments are passed by too quickly in order to wrap things up.
The production for this first Big Finish production is rather shoddy. The vocals are buried in the mix and the sound design for each of the planets could use more work. There was also a weird amount of time in between some of their lines, which works for television but in an audio drama it slows things down. In future Big Finish Doctor Who productions they manage to make things a bit more banter-y or at least quicker in terms of pace.
Sylvester was my favorite performance, full of buoyancy and the charm he so easily showcased in the show. And a special shout out to whoever voiced the Temperon because even with a heavy voice filter on, you can feel the pain and agony that this creature had gone through. Furthermore the Ruthley voice actor was kinda scary! I was actually invested in whatever was going on down on their planet. I'm looking forward to listening to more of the Main Range stories and I'm hoping for better three doctor stories!
