I thought S10 was a bit of a step back quality wise from S9. Don't get me wrong, S9 wasn't perfect but it seemed like they found the essence of who Capaldi's Doctor was, and I think it really showed. The opening two parter was great, and it had a decent (if fairly forgettable) follow-up in Under The Lake/Before The Flood. There was a fantastic closer in The Zygon Inversion, and the last three episodes are all favourites of mine (yes, even Hell Bent). Now, I recognise that's a fairly subjective take on things, and I know a lot of people really enjoyed S10. I just thought it was mostly forgettable, with only the closing two-parter being actually memorable.
But hey, at least watch through Series 9. I don't think you'll regret it.

Wow, that's almost how i feel about S9 and S10 as well.
I have decided that, whenever the sexist, chauvinistic man-children online whine about women being protagonists in these previously man-centric franchises, I will just ignore them and let the finished product speak for itself. Who cares about the gender of a fictional character? Who cares about their ethnicity or their sexual orientation? Just. Tell. A. Good. Story.
