That is pretty accurate, yes 😂 A big part of it I think is fans watching new episodes as they air, and going mad with waiting a week for the next one. The hyperfocus on picking over details of the week's story and speculating on what will happen next creates a weird and often (mostly) overly harsh criticism. Especially when discussed online...

And that's when previously hated runs are suddenly viewed through rosier glasses. Seems it's only now that the fandom can embrace Whittaker's Doctor (i.e., not spit bile on others for expressing moderate appreciation). Because apparently Chibnall did still ruin the show, but RTD really, really ruined it?

Also, don't forget the subset of fans who only really liked Tennant's run and the Rose romance arc, and will continue to comment like those three seasons are all that really count out of a >60yrs show 🙂
