Alright it just finished, hardly any time to process it, but my initial thoughts are thank you, writers! Yes, “let’s have an episode about the importance of discussing mental health (and call it Can You Hear Me)” seems anvil-icious but it was important, you know? As a mentally fragile person I WANT people to discuss it! So there ya go. Other things I loved:
- Claire-Hope Ashitey! I always wanted her to appear on Who, ever since seeing Children of Men.
- Sonya, Yaz’s sister, I really like her and she got some character development along with Yaz here.
- The whole scene between Yaz and the police officer was beautiful, although I do hope we’ll revisit that period of Yaz’s life at some point, I don’t think it was ever mentioned until now?
- I thought Grace might make an appearance this episode and she did, hooray
- A first for modern-day Doctor Who, an animated sequence!
