Maybe it gets better. But initially it lacks acting finesse in key acting roles. A bit too much like watching preteens at play.

Definitely not much like current official series standards for script, acting and special effects.

The series does sort of imitate pre-1987 special effects and video standards in a very limited way. Excepting that full model aliens are even more rare and shadowy stills of classic WHO prop monsters favored instead. Thus more scenes are effectively monologues or off camera conversations.

Basically what you would expect from a series with next to zero prop budget and no professional creature makeup artists. What quality matching the series does have compared to the earlier official Doctor Who is strictly a product of the cheapness and prevalence of home computer video special effects.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
