Agreed. Billie Potts (Pearl Mackie) was as dumb as a brick and Capaldi barely made muster.
As a side note, I heard at the time an interview with Mackie on NPR of all places. "What's it like to be The Doctor's first black companion?" WTH? Seriously? I must have just imagined Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), who was quite decent.
Anyway, I wrote off Who even though I loved it once. Woke shit has ruined nearly every piece of sci-fi I can think of. Even post-series wokeism. I can't stand David Tennant now, though he made a decent Doctor. And ST:TNG after Picard thanks to that steaming turd and Whoopi.
Woke shit sucks.
"Everything WOKE, Turns to shit".
It is and always will be true.
Also "Adapted for 'modern' audiences". Yeah, that is woke shit too.
