As old as I am, started watching who in my late 20s few years after the reboot, I agree. They were what was needed then, but not what is needed now.
I haven't even finished Jodie's episodes, been sort of not as grabbed by them or the companions. I didn't even enjoy Capaldi overly but I liked what they tried with it but something didn't quite hit the mark. Maybe need to rewatch them I stick to earlier ones usually.
I think they get a higher score the more they act like a complete douche and shitrag. Unsure what the score is for but seems to be a safe assumption
