I like Jenny immediately. She reminds me most of the 13th Doctor with her snark and positive outlook despite the circumstances.

The theme song is recognizable as Doctor Who but more feminine and sprightly almost to the point of chaos. Just like Jenny.

We get confirmation that Jenny is, in fact, genetically recognizable as a Time Lady. You'd think that'd be obvious but there used to be fan theories that she was something different or only half.

Jenny is however, a little too smart for someone who was literally born yesterday. I know she was programmed with a knowledge set up on birth but c'mon. There's no way she'd just instinctually know how to build a vortex manipulator from scratch.

The bad guys in this are the space equivalent of sketchy car salesman, who will upsell you for repairs you do not need. They kind of reminds me of Star Wars side characters. One is basically a space orc.

Noah is cute. Special cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure.

This review contains spoilers!

I can honestly say this is by far the worst thing I've ever heard from Big Finish, a company who's quality is usually very high. There is terrible direction and writing throughout, the actors are decent but they are not given anything to work with. There is not a single relatable character; Jenny is written as a generic goodie with plenty of pep and zero personality. Even the theme tune is terrible.

Matt Fitton wrote the brilliant Technophobia which kicked off Tennant's run at BF, so I know he can come up with something more intriguing than this. Then again he had some ready made characters to run with there, here he had the task of establishing who Jenny is outside of the context of her birth episode. Having heard the first hour of the Jenny box set I am left none the wiser.
