Well, by the "new count" at least since the series was restarted...
And the first series with the female doctor, Jodie Whittaker, who does a good job though for me she isn't a Tennant...
Compromising 10 episodes (and a new year special, which I only recently saw and hence this rather half year after date view on the series), the series is marked by some VERY strong episodes. While the "chnge of the guard" on the series, with a new producer, lead Doctor and all has been having quite and impact, there are true jewels in this year.
And for me, without a doubt, Rosa was the episode that stood out by a mile. How her companion Graham is forced in a position that will define history was heartbreaking. but also The Demons of Punjab was a very strong episode, where they couldn't be allowed to interfere because it would cause a change of the timeline for one of them personally had a really tearjerking ending. They reminded me of my alltime favorite episode of the new series, the episode featuring Van Gogh of a few years ago...
Of course, like any season, these strong episodes where offset by weaker ones, but in general the series had a high level of quality, and the team of companions (like the 5th Doctor, she has a group instead of a single companion joining her on her travels) isn't to bad at all.
Not really one stands out yet like Rose or Clara, but the synergy is there at least, now they just need to be developped as the series stands on Jodie's energy and charm. This gives the 55th year of Doctorin' still a good vibe, but in my opinion they really have to step up with the sidekicks themselves a bit... and that for me can make the next series a make or break deal.
But all in all, the series continues strong and the 13th Doctor does a great job following the impressive Capaldi footsteps...
