Yeah, this is it exactly. Absolute encyclopedic knowledge of the Content of Doctor Who, zero artistic or emotional understanding of what makes Doctor Who actually appealing and interesting

Chibnall's run is like if ChatGPT wrote Doctor Who.

I was rewatching S1 in full for the first time since high school last month and it really struck me how different it feels than any series that came after it. Eccleston's run feels as unique compared to S2 onward as the classic series does, just in a completely different way. Murray Gold's score has more restraint; hell, the show's entire sensibilities from its cinematography to its writing have more restraint—it feels less like the NuWho we've grown accustomed to and you can see much more late 90s/early 2000s genre TV DNA in it. It also feels intimate and character-driven in a way I don't think Doctor Who had ever been before or has ever been since. Episodes like Boom Town and Father's Day feel like they wouldn't belong in any series but Series 1.

It's so good.
