Is the Doctor capable of killing a child, even if doing so could save millions of lives?...With Clara's very existence in peril, Peter Capaldi's Doctor tonight at least appears to have reached a decisive conclusion to the age-old debate: "Exterminate."
September 21, 2015
Rarely has a show been so dependent on the skills of a single actor - and Capaldi is a good one: able to bring just enough emotional depth to a comicbook caper to render it dramatic.

Mad, funny, creepy, original and dramatic, 'The Magician's Apprentice' is a bold, mostly successful attempt to be all of Doctor Who, all at once, in just 46 short minutes. Its execution isn't faultless, but you certainly can't fault its massive ambition.
September 22, 2015
The Magician's Apprentice was not perfect, but its strengths outweighed its weaknesses, and in leaving us with the image of our non-violent, absolutely moral protagonist pointing a Dalek exterminator at a small child, it made for compelling television.
December 07, 2015
"Magician's Apprentice" is a confident hour of television... and it proves once again that Moffat is great at situating a bold new Doctor Who direction within the half-century mythology of Doctor Whos past.
October 04, 2016
This is big-ticket Doctor Who, done in such a beautifully delicate way that it manages both to startle and to endear.
January 18, 2017
To make matters worse, the episode falls foul of the two most common stumbling blocks for Doctor Who writers: maintaining the balance between the Doctor and his companion, and making sure the stakes feel believably high.
December 07, 2015
"The Magician's Apprentice" begins the second season for Peter Capaldi's Doctor with a swaggering production whose confidence is quite remarkable... The opening hook is one of the most impressive the series has ever produced.
September 20, 2015
Seemingly keen to re-energize itself after a topsy-turvy year in 2014, Doctor Who Season Nine has upped the stakes dramatically while still maintaining much of its grounded, loveable charm.
September 18, 2015
The character this season appears less grumpy, imbued with a kind of joyful mania.
