Also the best incarnation of The Master in Doctor Who since Roger Delgado's original in the 70s.

You can tell she's having an absolute blast, managing to be both incredibly funny and surprisingly scary.

She’s also a great example of the fact that the doctor being female is as not the problem with the the current run like some people like to say (Either that it sucks becaue she’s female or that people only hate it because she is). Missy was done very well and made sense and was much better accepted. Chibnall’s master and doctor on the other hand were not very good iterations and pretty much everything he’s done has been mediocre.

Yep they wasted a very good actress on the role. I would have loved to see her handle a darker aspect. Maybe the unhinged valeyard.

She was an absolute beast in Doctor Who, chewing through the scenes with effortless ease. I really miss her version of the Master, what a delight she was.

The scene where she dances with the Daleks makes me smile just thinking about it. She's having so much fun it oozes off the screen and infects you
