I feel bad that she's being branded a bad actress - because with an amazing script she's really shines. He performance in Trust Me was incredible, and I've seen some of her short films on YouTube that are amazing and her diversity of character is brilliant.
Also I think the fact she was never a fan of the show and had only watched the odd episode has hindered her. David, Matt and Peter had all grown up with the show and/or been massive fans. Not sure about Christopher, but I'd assume he was the same.
She said she was gonna do a binge of them all after this one airs because she doesn't want to be influenced by the other actors but instead she's kind of just taking traits that have already been done without realising, instead of filling the blanks and creating her own version of the Doctor.
