What a strong debut! Beautifully shot and directed, with very slow and thoughtful pacing. Beautiful tonal shift from what we had in the Moffat era.

While Whittaker is still finding her footing and feels a little generic NuWho Doctory, her performance still shines with lots of great moments.

Each of the companions get something to do, which is lovely! Though they're all pretty underwritten, except for Grace.

My main issue though with all of this, is that there's a lot of tell and not show. And this makes some of the dialogue incredibly clunky.

But overall it's a very fun, entertaining Doctor and era opener!
