I think they picked one of the best people to play the roll of Maestro. This performance was spectacular and I hope they appear at least one more time this season and aren't forgotten about to the show like the Toymaker was for so long (yes, I know the Toymaker was in multiple comics, casual watchers probably wouldn't know this). The episode before this one was kind of iffy with the writing, but I'll be willing to stick through. The useage of the callback to the Giggle was spectacular, absolutely used to strike fear in the hearts of the Doctor. I didn’t watch Jodie's season, I'm hoping that this one will keep my attention.

[@tTaseric]

I understand the writing isn't for everyone but I would recommend giving Series 13 a try. If you like campy god-like characters that just freak the Doctor out, that season has some good scenes. It's a pretty short season so no harm in giving it a try.
