Sasha Dhawan is the Master I like the least so far (only comparing him to the Modern ones - Still haven't watched classic in full, so I can't make a really full comparison - given the different budgets and the fact that TV has a higher quality in general now compared to the time the original show aired this wouldn't be fair anyhow). I think he took the crazy a bit too far in the beginning and instead of starting in control and spin out of control when his plans don't work out he started out as an average crazy person and became calmer when the story needed him to stop and build a few coherent sentences - so the audience could understand what was going on.
After getting that off my chest I have to say, that after the in my opinion very poor start with Part One I was positively surprised by this Episode. It really felt like Doctor Who again. I still can't get behind her calling the companions "fam", but I don't have to like everything.
I am a bit unsure if I like the Episode because the last season was such a sh***fest or if it was really good - But I guess I will only be able to tell when I rewatch it after some time (probably short before season 13 comes out).
