The Thirteenth Doctor, Yaz, and Dan meet legendary Chinese pirate queen Madam Ching and battle the classic Sea Devils on the high seas.
This 2022 spring special of Doctor Who had a lot of hype before its release, but didn't seem to make much of an impact afterwards. Is it forgettable, underrated, or somewhere in between? This episode is a great Halloween episode with a fun use of the setting (who doesn't love some good piracy and monsters?).
From IMDb:
The Doctor, Yaz and Dan travel to 19th century China, where a small coastal village is under threat from both the fearsome pirate queen Madame Ching and a monstrous force which she unwittingly unleashes.

P.S. I wish we got more time to explore the relationship between the Doctor and Yaz before she regenerated...
