'Doctor Who': Flux Episode 1 Recap: "The Halloween Apocalypse"
Doctor Who: Flux is the show's first six-part adventure since Classic Who and 1979's "The Armageddon Factor" during the Fourth Doctor era. (Once the series crossed into the 1980s, serials shrank to 3 and 4 parters; even "Trial of a Timelord" was originally three four-parters and a two-part finale.) It feels fitting because the series feels very much like it's returned to its very early roots for the first time in the reboot era.
From nameless aliens covered in crystal prosthetics and glitter to a dog race that really is man's best friend and ship interiors that look like the 1970s designed them, this final Chris Chibnall Doctor Who season feels like it throws all the way back.
Yaz: Pro-tip, Dan Lewis: Don't diss the designated rescuer.
