Flux was definitely the best Chibnall Who series, but I think it could have been better with more episodes and more development, that's what I meant by the pandemic ruining it.
Flux was by far the best that Chibnall did (even if the ending was anti-climactic). However I am trying to remember if we thought he'd do serialised Who from the start. He's good at serialised stuff (see Broadchurch), so the whole 'Season of standalones' was a let down.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. Flux was definitely the best of the Chibnall era and I think it would have been even better if the pandemic hadn't forced them to cut episodes so it was crammed too full.
I remember at the beginning of Thirteen's run I thought Chibnall might do a callback to the Third Doctor and have her stuck on Earth working at UNIT trying to track down the TARDIS. I think that would have worked well.

Oh god, remember when we hoped for that from Chibnall? DID we hope for that? I certainly did. And he did deliver, albeit in a very limited fashion.
Anyway, Old Skool serials. <3 I was going to say you haven't even gotten to the black and white stuff yet, but then I remembered you've watched The Dalek's Master Plan of all things.
I certainly did. And he did deliver, albeit in a very limited fashion. It was like he deliberately sabotaged himself, it's weird. (By starting off with all standalones.)

It's not what we'll get, but I live in hope.

It just fell down in the lack of follow-up afterwords.
