I unfortunately had the reveal spoiled for me (thanks Instagram), but I might as well address the elephant in the room: yep, this is a sequel to Midnight. My feelings on that are complicated. On one hand, this is ultimately an enjoyable episode, and it'll stand as a relative high mark for the Fifteenth Doctor. On the other hand... that isn't exactly saying much at this point, and it utterly fails at even approaching how good Midnight itself is. For starters, I kinda think that this was retrofitted to be the Midnight creature; the rules it follows and how it behaves don't really match up at all. Other than that, we've got the standard RTD2 stuff: messy exposition, Ncuti crying, an excitable costume change, and uninteresting side characters. Still, for all that criticism, I did genuinely really like the horror here. I like it when Who gets dark, and the concepts here are fun to play with.
