Chibnall Doctor Who episodes are unsatisfying in same way Torchwood was unsatisfying. Something about the approach is off. It’s a carrier-bag approach for stories that want to be hero’s journey. I thought it was female doctor at first, but Janeway-Star Trek works fine for eg.
I think problem is too many companions, with too much sympathy and mitigation for their general haplessness.

And this doctor herself is being written in a slightly schizophrenic way. Trying to get both the competent-but-bumbling style of 11 and 12 and the high gravitas style of 10 and 13 in a single character. I think pure bumbling style would work better. Like Leela on Futurama.
