Hello Doctor Who fans before we start this weeks review i want to say that next week i might not be able to review the episode and if i am able to it might not be until either the evening or Monday morning but with that out of the way here is my review of The Lie Of The Land.
The basic plot of this weeks episode is The Doctor , Nardole and Bill take on The Monks and that's really it in terms of story which i think is great because this is the third part of the story and thus not much plot would be needed i also really liked the fact that the episode had really good pacing it wasn't two fast nor was it two slow it was just right.
We of course have our three main leads who all do a solid job in this episode i really liked Pearl in this episode there's a scene in this episode where i think she does her best acting i won't spoil it but it's worth watching. In terms of guest cast we have Emma Handy Hastings , Beatrice Curnew and Rosie Jane that's not really alot of guest actors i can actually mention since it would be a spoiler but the guest cast do a great job especially the certain someone who i cannot mention because of spoilers.
To me this episode is like an action movie just due to both the fast pacing and the fact that in almost every other scene something is always happening weather it be something character driven like the awesome Bill scene or something just cool so if you like action movies you'll love this episode honestly i was waiting for someone to come out with a cheesey one liner.
I already mentioned that i like the looks of The Monks in last weeks review but i think that the make up team out did themselves this week with another edition of the ranks of the monks i'm not sure if i can talk about it so i'll keep it short and sweet by saying that the creature looks awesome.
I will say that the special guest star in this episode has a wonderfully funny scene in this episode and they also look really good especially when it comes to the hair and i think the scene they were in was so well written and so well acted it almost stole the whole the episode for me and it's just a shame that i can't mention who it is because then you'll get why it was such a funny scene to watch.
Overall this was a truly great episode i won't be marking it a ten tho just because things happen for no reason what so ever and i can't say what they are which is also why this review is short i give this episode a solid 8.5 out of 10
