Review of The Web Planet by TheDHolford
21 August 2024
“All so strange, so unnatural. I’ve never seen anything in my life before like this.”
Overly ambitious and sadly that’s its main let down. I’ll give it one thing, it tries something unique and original, but the execution just doesn’t work. Having no human characters other than the main cast leaves a big gap in any sort of emotional connection, and the aliens themselves vary from irritating to outright boring and bland.
Some cool designs, and ideas here and there, but this story would feel stretched with 3 episodes, let alone 6 episodes. It’s such a slog to get through, and perhaps my least liked of all the Hartnell era.
