Sinking Out Loud (Capsizing “Legend of the Sea Devils”)

Is it possible for Doctor Who to have too much time and money? Judging by Legend of the Sea Devils — one of just three stories made since 2021 — the answer is, “Aye!” Boasting some of the biggest sets Doctor Who has ever had and the return of a mostly well-remembered classic        monster, this pirate adventure seemed destined to be a treasure. But nobody’s heart seems in this outing — not the inept villain, nor the creatively dressed Team TARDIS, nor the diverse and capable guest cast ready to dive deep into China’s rich pirate history. But ahoy, what’s this? We’re finally addressing the burgeoning romance between Yaz and the Doctor? That could be the lifeline this Legend needs.

Commentary for Legend of the Sea Devils begins at 27:52.
