I enjoyed it, while recognising that it had problems. I liked the way in which the companions were being given more responsibility by the Doctor and sent off to do their own investigations. And this episode gets kudos for being perhaps the first in any SF show to feature the word "gyre". :) One thing that does worry me a bit about the current series, even though overall I've liked it, is that the need to deliver a "woke" message might be starting to take priority over telling an exciting story.
Given that Chris Chibnall was co-writer of this one, I was expecting it to advance the series' overall story arc, but unless I missed something it didn't.
I tried to enjoy it, and I managed to a little bit for a while, but by the end I just couldn't really keep it up, and I mostly just felt a bit irritated and rather bored. Clearly I wasn't in nearly as good or forgiving a mood as when I watched "Orphan 55." But the contrast with last ep really didn't help this one. Whatever "Fugitive of the Judoon" might or might not be -- and the jury's still out on most of it, really, until we find out what the heck was actually going on in it -- it emphatically was not boring. I want more not-boring in my Who

It was enjoyable, though the bird animatronics were really dreadful the cgi flock was quite good. Yas is even beginning to sound like the Doctor! The message was heavy handed, not at all subtle. I am waiting for the inevitable complaints about a same sex pairing kissing before the watershed!
