The payoff is ingenious enough to make one forgive how easily the super-powerful aliens end up being defeated.June 05, 2017
"The Lie of the Land" brings the biggest story arc of the season to a close with mostly satisfying results, opening the door for more involvement from Missy, and proving that Bill can determine the course of the narrative in more ways than one.June 05, 2017
"The Lie Of The Land" could have been a great story, but most of its best moments feel like paler retreads of better stories.June 05, 2017
The monk storyline ends on a strong note, giving us SJW food for thought, a couple of exciting set pieces, and some great if tantalizing Missy scenes.June 05, 2017
One thing that was impressive about this episode was how well it was able to maintain and manage the whole dystopian vibe, at different times evoking 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, and even the Mockingjay Part 2.June 01, 2017
Perfectly entertaining, but after a certain point of the episode, it just felt less interesting, with the ending less exciting than the build up.June 05, 2017
Pearl Mackie put in another marvellous performance here: authentic but controlled, never histrionic, equally convincing whether she was threatening to "beat the s--t" out of Nardole or saying a fond farewell when she thought she was sacrificing herself.
