Doctor Who: The Time Meddler 1965
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I would've liked more action from the second half of this serial but it's a lot of fun. It showcases both the first Time Lord that isn't the Doctor and also the Doctor's willingness to absolutely destroy people he doesn't like (the monk gets left in 1066?!

Longlegs 2024

Longlegs created that feeling for me in a way I haven't felt in a long time. It's a nightmare combination of Alan Wake, True Detective, and Silence of the Lambs, and there isn't a moment of it that doesn't feel…
