Agreed. Not sure how much the Disney distribution deal has affected how they handle subtlety. Or just a new show runner that might just not be as good.

I found Steven Moffat to be very good while Russel T Davis has had some excellent moments during his first run, with true existential terror surfacing in the show, lately it has become a Disney ride.

Not sure if he lost some key contributor that gave the show an edge or they decided to try to bring a younger audience in. It doesn’t feel like it has the gravitas it had there for a while.
