tbh i thought it was still a bit pants. admittedly better than anything in the previous season. there are enjoyable moments but there's still a tonal element that's all wrong, that tilts the attempts at humour (and some of the action scenes e.g. car/bike chase) into cheesiness. this for me is a Chibnall problem - his attempts at quirkiness just come off as someone trying too hard to be quirky. And JW's line delivery is still irritating.
on the plus side there were some good set pieces e.g. the laser in the car, the outback siege and the finale.
