Doctor Who critics weigh in on Jodie Whittaker's performance: From guaranteed to stick in people's hearts to not psychopathic enough

The Guardian

"Series 11 has been a whirlwind of exciting adventures for Who fans, old and new," says Beth Axford. "A highlight has been Whittaker’s performance, one guaranteed to stick in people’s hearts forever... Episodes have been beautifully crafted, fun, rewatchable and thought-provoking. Could it be better? Perhaps." Adds Cameron Reilly: "Unfortunately, from the outset, I felt (showruner Chris) Chibnall either doesn’t get the fundamentals of the Doctor’s inherent psychopathy, or has decided to write it out, making Whittaker a kinder, gentler, touchy-feely, kid-friendly Doctor."
