See, this is what I don't get. This idea that you can't tell something is terrible unless you've sat through every last moment of it. I sat through ten seasons of New Who, more than enough to come to the conclusion that it just isn't the same show anymore and I'm never going to like it as much as the original series. I watched the first ten minutes of The Woman Who Lived, enough to see that Whittaker was nails down a blackboard irritating. I've read enough plot descriptions and reviews to tell this is not my show anymore, and seen enough clips and bits of trailers to see she has not improved one iota and was utterly miscast even if the idea of genderbending Time Lords wasn't a massive joke to begin with (which it always was).
I don't have to watch 95% of modern movies to know they're not for me either. Trailers and plot descriptions are more than enough to make that call.
