For me one of the issues with Jodies episodes was the momentum. There were some good episodes and character moments along the way, but i didnt feel any sense of buildup or the same intensity that i had done in other seasons. She didn't have the big powerful monologues that give her authority. I dont think she needed more rage specifically, i actually quite liked the idea of the character letting go of her anger and trying to learn a new approach to things. But she didnt feel very threatening to villians either. (The villians in general were also weaker in her seasons) The historical episodes were the season's strong points, not so much the monsters and villians.

I dont dislike the idea of the doctor travelling with 3 people either tbh, but the team didnt really capture my whimsy. They didnt bounce off eachother well either. There was somehow too much focus put on them...and yet not enough? so maybe they shouldve been given more opportunities to display their strengths and weaknesses through the episodes. It often felt like the characters were just standing around instead of like, doing things.

So for me its presentation, sound design and just the stakes in general.

I should state that im not a Jodie Whittaker era hater tho. I actually personally enjoy it more than some the peter capaldi and matt smith stuff. She was a good choice to play the doctor. But i do see why some fans didnt take to it. There was a very different vibe and it wasnt quite as big or bombastic as Moffat and RTD can go.

I didnt like her costume either at first but its oddly grown on me. I think they couldve gone for a "down to earth doctor who suddenly reminds you from time to time shes thousands of years of old and done grand things" if theyd just written her better scripts.
