25. The Tsuranga Conundrum

The last truly awful episode on this list is 2018’s The Tsuranga Conundrum, an episode so lacking in soul that it’s difficult to pay attention.

Take your pick from one of three side plots that lack any emotional payoff, or watch as the Doctor absolutely bungles her "take control" moment, making herself look like an incompetent bystander for much of the runtime.

One thing this episode does do well, to its credit, is to give us an original take on the monster of the week, with the big threat of the episode being a tiny, cute alien who just wants to eat everything.
