It had zero to do with color or being queer. He was not good in that role.

Well, that's weird, since Ncuti Gatwa recieved death threats for his role before the show even aired and the series had been review-bombed to death immediately after the casting announcement was made - so it sure seems like most people didn't really care how well he did or didn't do in the role.

What views were so preachy and in your face then? Which views were you referring to in your original comment? Because from my experience, the people criticising the latest seasons of Doctor Who struggle with putting into words why - other than Ncuti Gatwa being terrible and the show being too gay, which seems to be the same tired talking points you're bringing up here.

They need new writers who love the show and to get rid of all agenda ridden writers like RTD. He ruined it. He was so preachy and in your face with his views. Both seasons were weird and boring. And bringing back all the old timers felt desperate to me.

"He was so preachy and in your face with his views". Meanwhile "his views" were simply all humans are equal - even if they're black or queer - mindblowing take, I know. Ncuti got plenty of criticism for the role before the show even aired, which is why I don't really look at ratings/reviews for TV shows anymore - the "anti-woke" weirdos just rate everything with a black person as a main cast a 1/10 without watching it anyway.

Loved Ncuti as the doctor and I will be following his career moving forward - hoping it continues to be great.

Great! I hope they start filming season 3 ASAP so we don't have to wait almost 2 yrs between seasons.
