Those seasons had a different show runner and maybe different writers from previous incarnations. I have seen her on other shows and I think she could have been a good Dr if she had anything to work with. The current group also retconned a bunch of the Doctor's backstory to the point where her time as the Doctor does not really fit in to the rest of the story.

She and this crew have one more episode left, then it will be interesting

it just plain sucks.
like real bad. i used to be a huge fan and i turned my back on it for good an
everyone i know did the same.

If it was not a long-running show, i.e. if she was the first doctor, the
show would be cancelled.

I don't blame the actress for Dr Who not being entertaining any more. the show's tempo had changed so much I would spend most of my time fast forwarding through it to keep the the story progressing without being too boring.

Exactly! It seemed like they would spend most of the show on things that didn't add to the story, and then spend the last 5 minutes or so hurrying to the conclusion. The satisfaction of watching the Doctor (seeming to)
slowly figure something out, like 4, 10, and 11 did, was gone.

The most recent New Year's Episode was sort of the opposite... they figured
it out, but then seemed to spend extra time on a long and dragged-out
solution rather than getting to safety sooner. Felt like they ran out of
ideas and had to pad out 20 minutes or so. I would have enjoyed it more if they'd just shortened the episode. :)

I also think she had too many companions, which may be why the middle of
some stories got too stretched out.

Other times it is beating a dead horse about some woke concept.

That is they other thing they spend too much time on in the middle of
stories. They had a couple that were all about the "bad American
businessMAN" that I am pretty sure was supposed to make us think of Trump. There are many, many other examples, most of which were not memorable and I cannot remember the details of.

i used to like british shows because they knew when it was over. the actors went on to other projects and that kept things fresh.

just throwing in another actor to doctor who isn't doing it anymore.

Throwing in a new actor and new writers and show runner with more of a political commentary agenda is a formula for failure.

The show runner leaving is the best news of it all.
