Review of Zygon: When Being You Just Isn’t Enough by Jae

3 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Today I watched Zygon: When Being You Just Isn’t Enough. The closest thing Doctor Who has to an official porno. Although it’s really not. It’s just got a lot of nudity.

And in total, I had a not bad time watching it. It’s weird, the effects are bad, there’s barely any Zygons in. It’s got two and a half sex scenes which all are far tamer than Torchwood tbh. Apart from the fact that you can see breasts and penises. Mostly it was kind of a weird thriller type thing. Went surprisingly violent towards the end. If you’re easily squicked out by gore, this isn’t for you. Also if you’re emetophobic, because the protagonist throws up around 20 minutes in.

What I really didn’t expect though was the trans subtext. The human protagonist gets sort of turned into a zygon and tries out a man’s body. That whole montage was just. Yeah, really trans. She appears to really love that body. Also has one of the sex scenes in that body and it looks like she’s having some real revelations. I was kind of jealous to be honest.
