I love Moffat's Doctor Who it's the best version of Doctor Who for me but we have honestly just outgrown old white nepo showrunners overall (plus poor Moffat had just the longest run because they couldn't find a replacement when he wanted to leave like twice honestly god bless him, he was writing for Who on his mother's deathbed man has done enough). RTD coming back was a necessary evil and I am okay with that if it revives the show but the wilderness years writers need to GO AWAY. I'm rooting for Juno Dawson, Kate Herron or Sarah Dollard of writers that have been on the show before to take over. But like anyone but Rusty, Moffat and Chinballs. I can enjoy Moffat coming back for one-offs though. As much as I personally disagree with the 'he's only good at one off's' take because he's really really a good showrunner to me and also wrote two of my favorite shows, he's good when he's gotten some sleep and time to work.
I mean absolutely we have outgrown old white nepo showrunners overall, I completely agree and literally the only reason (other than having written a couple of episodes before) Moffat got the job was because his mother in law is/was very high up in the BBC and that sort of attitude really needs to go. BBC shows have suffered a LOT for being very insular, and I'm also rooting for Juno Dawson, Kate Herron, and/or Sarah Dollard! They've written really really good episodes so far and I want to see more of their work!!
I'm glad you like Moffat's showrunning... I don't, and most of his showrunning of Doctor Who is not my favorite (I really, really liked Peter Capaldi's seasons but not how he handled Clara completely, and sorry to the masses but Matt Smith's seasons are my least favorite), so I'm sorry anon lol. I'm glad you get joy out of it though!
If that other favorite show of yours happens to be Sherlock, I think you're very brave.
