Doctor Who (2005) - S12 • E9 Ratings & Reviews

Alex Moreland
This is Chibnall's big, bold attempt to make the Cybermen scary again: how much you like it rather depends on how impressed you are by what are utlimately just stompy robots.
Culturess
Lacy Baugher
It's action packed, taking big swings with complicated stories, epic battle scenes, a mysterious new character and the returns of both Gallifrey and the Master (again).
Tell-Tale TV
Lauren Busser
Setting up for an explosive finale, this episode rests heavily on the established mythology of the series and creates an enjoyable hour that isn't afraid to take its time when needed.
Guardian
Dan Martin
It's a fizzing, refreshing rush to witness an epic space opera on the grandest scale. With loads of spaceships. And, of course, Cybermen, but more on that below.

James Whitbrook
Whether or not next week's climactic follow-up will deliver on just how fascinating and chilling this concept is remains to be seen.
Entertainment Weekly
Devan Coggan
For a penultimate episode, "Ascension" seems to be asking all the right questions. Now it's up to next week's season finale to hopefully give us some answers.
Slashfilm
Hoai-Tran Bui
Chris Chibnall is building up to in the penultimate episode of Doctor Who season 12. Because, despite the amorphous, ever-shifting nature of Doctor Who, it feels game-changing.
We Got This Covered
Christian Bone
"Ascension of the Cybermen" certainly does its job of putting all the pieces where they need to be on the board to set up an exciting finale.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
[It] hits one or two of those specifications, but, unfortunately, it doesn't utilize the two-part structure to its fullest. Instead, an exciting ending and an intriguing side plot do a lot to paper over some otherwise fairly glaring weaknesses.
Radio Times
Patrick Mulkern
Chris Chibnall has come out with all Cyber-guns blazing. There's a clear sense of the showrunner relishing his Doctor Who finale.
Independent (UK)
Ed Power
Everything is in place, then, for a stirring finale.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Michael Hogan
This was a thrilling ride, full of plot twists, action sequences and heart-pounding tension.
Starburst
Kieron Moore
It's frustrating that, after The Haunting of Villa Diodati got us so hyped up for the finale, Ascension of the Cybermen loses that energy by holding back too much, giving us a standard Cyber-chase story instead of anything new or satisfying
The Spool
Clint Worthington
Cybermen used to be scary because of their emotionless efficiency and lack of affect; now we have a true mustache-twirling Cyber-villain, and it's such a refreshing change.
Den of Geek
Chris Allcock
There's an awful lot of plot crammed into this installment, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
