The countryside side plot setting up the Cyberman, predictable and derivative.

I like it. It's just so many of these ideas have been done not that long ago by Steven Moffatt.
The flashback idea would've worked better imo if they'd been using it as a B-Plot throughout the season, the whole arc feels a little rushed imo because Chibnall thought that it was a better idea to do a load of historical and environmental episodes instead. So not a lot of time has been dedicated to the Cyberman in the present timeline let alone in the flashbacks.

I am liking the actor's performance as the Cyberman though, he can join Jodie Whittaker in actually delivering a more lively performance.
