There are obviously countless examples to choose from here, but which New Who stories would you guys consider to be the most overrated?

Probably The Doctor's Wife.

It's a bit of a blink and you'll miss it affair.

I also wasn't entirely sold on The Empty Child (mainly because Rose and Captain Jack's flirting interruptions of the plot was a bit sick-making)

Listen. It's two short trips stitched together. Barely.

Heaven Sent. I have been back and watched it again to try to understand why it seems so popular. Pretentious twaddle. I actually marginally preferred the following episode - Hell Bent - as at least there are some nice well acted scenes between the Doctor and Clara in between all the awfulness.

It would be easier to come up with a list of the ones that aren't overrated. Most of the "epics" are wildly overrated, most of the "comedy" episodes are painfully unfunny and embarrassing etc.
Even Blink is overrated as, great though it is, it's hardly the best story ever. It's barely even a Who story, more like a Twilight Zone. Which is fine, but when you're declaring "best story ever" to one that barely has the lead in it, you can't help but think something isn't right somewhere.
