That task, along with unraveling mysteries held over from last season (Mrs.

Flood, anyone?)

I just wish it got off to a better start, as this seasons opener already feels forgettable.

The story is one where almost everything has been done before and done better in previousDoctor Whoepisodes.

As does Gatwa delivering another fantastic performance as his effusive Fifteenth Doctor.

But I quickly found myself ready to get on with the rest of the season.

From that standpoint, the episode is a great success.

Shes brave, fierce, and already willing to stand up to the Doctor.

The success ofDoctor Whoseason 15 could hinge on how well the mystery around Belinda pays off.

The latest Doctor Who series introduces the Fifteenth Doctor, joined by new companion Ruby Sunday.

This first episode, sadly, isnt their best foot forward.

Doctor Whoseason 15 premieres on Disney+ and BBC iPlayer this Saturday, April 12.
