"Oxygen" is a standout episode of Doctor Who Series 10, praised for its chilling atmosphere, social commentary, and Peter Capaldi's powerful performance.
**Strengths:**
* **Unique Concept:** The idea of a space station where oxygen is a commodity is both chilling and thought-provoking. It raises important questions about corporate greed, social inequality, and the value of human life.
* **Atmospheric and Suspenseful:** The episode effectively builds suspense
and creates a claustrophobic atmosphere, with the constant threat of oxygen deprivation adding to the tension.
* **Peter Capaldi's Performance:** Capaldi delivers a powerful and nuanced performance, conveying the Doctor's frustration, fear, and determination
in the face of this deadly threat.
* **Character Development:** The episode provides some strong character moments, particularly for the Doctor, as he faces the consequences of
his actions and grapples with his own mortality.
* **Visuals and Sound Design:** The episode is visually striking,
with effective use of lighting and sound design to create a sense
of dread and isolation.
**Possible Weaknesses:**
* **Some May Find it Disturbing:** The concept of people dying from lack of oxygen can be quite disturbing for some viewers.
**Overall Impression:**
"Oxygen" is a chilling and thought-provoking episode that explores complex social issues within the framework of a science fiction story. It's a testament
to the strengths of Series 10 and a must-watch for any Doctor Who fan.
**Rating:**
Considering the strong concept, atmospheric setting, and Peter Capaldi's
powerful performance, I'd rate "Oxygen" a **9/10**. It's a near-perfect
episode that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll.
**Breakdown for viewers:**
* **For fans who enjoy suspenseful stories, thought-provoking themes,
and strong character performances:** 9.5/10 or even 10/10
* **For viewers who are easily disturbed by depictions
of violence or death:** 8/10
