I have loved the RTD2 era, but this looks like a very gun, very by-the-numbers generic medium-gritty sci-fi with a very tired Romeo-&-Juliet trope. There must be some sort of twist to this, right? But I’m nervous that this is more Pete McTighe, who wrote the only bad episode of last series and seems only capable of accidentally writing ethically repulsive episodes with the worst dialogue you’ve ever heard.
I personally liked “Lucky Day”, though neither of his Chibnall-era efforts are particuarly inspiring (it’s also sometimes very difficult to separate the episodic writer from the showrunner). I’m really not familiar with his other work.
