I haven't watched the new episodes yet so we ll reserve judgement. I don't like the idea of a musical number for the sake of a musical number, but apparently it may have an in-universe explanation. I enjoyed the Toy maker stuff so .

I've also seen the clip of the abortion social commentary from the first episode and all I'd really say about it is that it's too on the nose and thus comes across a bit preachy - and that's from someone who wholeheartedly agrees with the gist of what's being said. It just feels schlocky.

BUT

Anyone who says there hasn't been schlocky/unsubtke preaching in Doctor Who all along is lying to themselves.
my likes are a lot more basic. I either like a tv show or i don't, it wouldn't even get to the "this is woke" for me, because something can be woke and entertaining, they are not mutually exclusive concepts
