Doctor Who Seasons 1-12 Ranked Worst To Best

The Twelfth Doctor’s first series had a lot going for it. It gave us a much darker Doctor and showed his relationship with Clara become strained as she tried to get used to this new man. It even had the new Doctor questioning his identity, wondering if he is a good person.

It was a great way to introduce a new Doctor. It had them asking the same questions the audience and companion were asking, leading us on the journey to discover their truth at the same time.

Season eight saw the Doctor and Clara's adventures push them both to their limits and the arc was one of the more adult that we've seen in Doctor Who, which led to complaints that it maybe went a little too far in its exploration of death.

It was an emotional series that tackled these difficult conversations about grief, death, the greater good and self-sacrifice. Doctor Who has often tackled these subjects, but never in such detail and never so close together.

The exploration of Clara growing disenchanted with the Doctor and feeling the pull back to her normal life worked really well; it created the kind of Doctor/companion drama we deserved. Most of the episodes were brilliantly handled too, with the exception of a couple that just fell flat.

Oh, and the moon is an egg. Never saw that coming.
