‘Doctor Who’ Review: Ncuti Gatwa’s Run Gets Off to a Peppy, Promising Start on Disney+

Ncuti Gatwa's debut as the Fifteenth Doctor in "Doctor Who" on Disney+ starts with lively and accessible episodes, though not particularly memorable. The Christmas special "The Church on Ruby Road" introduces his Doctor's personality and his dynamic with new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), featuring holiday spirit and a musical number. The show aims to attract new viewers and diversify the Doctor's traditionally singular racial and gender identity, with Gatwa bringing a fresh, energetic interpretation to the role.
