Doctor Who - Season 10, Episode 08: The Lie of the Land
Trailer
Season 10 of the series continues telling the adventure a time-traveling alien and his human partner. In this season, he must team up with an investigative journalist and a superman to prevent alien's scheming which is to destroy New York.
"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.
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.
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.
