The War Between the Land and the Sea Reviews

Fantastic first episode, followed by a fantastic decline in overall quality. The acting is horrendous. The dynamics are washed out and predictable. The story loses common sense. The messages are far too explicit. The makeup and designs are great, although I've seen this sort of premise a million times now, and this does absolutely nothing new with it. It's embarrassing how bad this turned out to be and disappointing since I was actually looking forward to it. I've never watched Doctor Who and definitely won't now.

This was honestly terrible. The script was unoriginal, the ending was mental… you want me to believe he’s fine with never seeing his kid again. Nah. Pass

Without the doctor we resorted to biological warfare and ended with a swim routine? 2/10 for me.

David Bowie references??!?!!?!!!???

Short, but beautifully set!

Would’ve loved this if they didn’t fall in love 🤦‍♀️

Title is too long. Enjoyed the series but felt it was symptomatic of modern Dr Who (really good build up but below par ending)

Started with an interesting premise then fell short immediately

this was actually good. you are on the path to redemption RTD. however I could not get over the concept of Russell Tovey falling in love with a fish woman

This series only leaves you with questions and a rush……. to find a woman, don't end up like these poor man ..🤣 hahahahahahaha 07/10 🤷‍♂️👍

7/10 will it's started great kinda get lest interesting closer to the end

Not the best thing RTD has brought to Doctor Who, but also not the worst. Felt like a watered down children of Earth so honestly if you’re going to watch anything watch that.

idk how to describe this series…i wanna say its realistic but at the same time it’s so absurd. This series would have been better if it was longer cuz that last episode felt so rushed. The dialogue was kinda weird too at times so idk it’s was fine ig 7/10

.5 -

Very good story throughout the series, but the ends the last episode seems rushed and not really good at all. I really didn’t like the end episode but overall it was a good hour with eight out of 10.

Realistic movie, the rich will never be satisfied if they lose all their money and they would rather reject advanced technology to advance the human civilization. Only bad thing is Russel as a main character it’s just not something I can take seriously his voice is too girly.

Basically a political thread on accountability. Humanity isn’t portrayed as misunderstood, just negligent for too long. The Sea People function as a metaphor for marginalized voices ignored until resistance becomes unavoidable.

I was cringing throughout.
Cringe dialogue, weird love subplot, failed social political narrative.
Couldn’t enjoy, even trying to suspend logic.
Don’t waste your time.
