Doctor Who: Vastra Investigates

About This Movie

So, 'Doctor Who: Vastra Investigates' is a neat little special that dives into the Victorian murder mystery genre. The atmosphere is thick with that classic gothic tension, you know? Madame Vastra, played with a nice sort of stoicism, leads the charge alongside Jenny and Strax, who, let me tell you, adds a bit of comedic relief amidst the dark undertones. The pacing is tight, keeping you engaged without feeling rushed. Practical effects complement the story well, grounding the supernatural elements in a tangible reality. It’s distinct, really, focusing on Vastra's character and her dynamic with her companions while the Doctor is, well, conspicuously absent. A different take on the usual Doctor Who formula, for sure.

Features a unique take on Victorian settings. · Highlights the dynamic duo of Vastra and Jenny. · Strax adds a comedic touch that balances the dark themes.
