*tilts head* She's watched it all (as in S25), and she thinks Silver Nemesis is the highlight (as do I).
*tilts head back at you* We may be living in parallel universes and yours has a different Silver Nemesis to mine! I mean, I don't think it deserves to get anything like as low rated as it usually does in polls (it's a lot livelier than most of its typical neighbours for starters), and I think that's due to people still bearing it a grudge for not being much of an anniversary story, but it is by far the most straight-forward of S25-26. It's busy and fun, but ultimately it doesn't really go anywhere & some of the comic scenes are pretty embarrassing. The baffling social workers line was even back then, even when I was 11! (Whereas the Kandyman I will defend to the death! I mean, it's probably actually agressively experimental theatre rather than television, but it's angry and weird and I love it even so. The others I don't usually have to defend much, happily.)
But as long as you are enjoying yourself, that is the thing! Nobody ever sees anything quite the same way, and that's the fun of it.
