A quick, easy and very good read here:

'Most of Capaldi’s episodes felt like remixes of Who’s greatest hits from the 2005 relaunch of the show. This problem has existed since Capaldi’s first episode. Everyone loved the clockwork robots from Moffat’s season two episode “The Girl in the Fireplace.” But, by the time those same robots were rebooted for Capaldi’s debut episode, “Deep Breath,” the oomph of the concept was long gone'.
'And yet, through all of this, Capaldi’s performance as this weary time-travel and good-hearted character was much richer and authentic than his three predecessors.'
Capaldi's era will no doubt, in time, speak volumes of everything wrong with era of NuWho. How such a fine actor has been totally wasted by poor writing and unoriginal ideas.
Just really wish he had would stay for one more series under the new management.
