Is Doctor Who Too Political Now? - Unlucky 13 // B-WHERE

Is series 11 of Doctor Who too political? It’s an interesting question, and I plan to tackle it here from an apolitical viewpoint – meaning I won’t inject any of my political opinions into this deconstruction. I will do my best to remain as nonpartisan as possible, but because of the nature of the internet, I know I’m going to get a bunch of hate no matter what I say. So do me a big favor and drop a like on this video to try and counteract some of that hate.
With that out of the way, DW has always been political – correct, I’m not arguing this. But this statement doesn’t matter when critiquing the political writing of series 11. Why? Well, let me put it this way – just because the series has been political in the past, that isn’t an excuse for poorly written and executed political storylines today. One could point to the terrible writing of the 6th doctor’s era and say that’s an excuse for the writing to be terrible today – see how quickly that logic falls apart?
I have nothing against politically charged stories, but they require nuance in order to be good. They need creativity. Just because the message behind something is good, doesn’t inherently make that thing good.
I could film an hour of the tardis just sitting on a hill, but the words “stop sexism” are plastered up in the sky the entire time. Does this count as a good political episode of doctor who? I think not. Political fiction needs to present a topic in a way that makes the viewer think. It should leave the viewer with something to ponder, or a new way of looking at an issue they thought they already understood.
So, does series 11 actually do this? Well, let’s take a look: I will be discussing Rosa, Arachnids in the UK, and Kerblam.

Stay Frosty!
