The Doctor Lies
This was a rule of which much was made with the previous Doctor, but with Peter Capaldi it is far more frequent and far less attractive. With Matt Smith and even David Tennant the lies were to protect people's minds while he did what needed doing, or to misdirect the villain.
Capaldi's Doctor lies to use people as tools to get things done, and he tells people the horrible truth with deeply unpleasant regularity.
It's not Capaldi's age or his acting. The reason people dislike this Doctor is entirely on Moffat's shoulders.
