"Davies' new five-part series follows Plainclothes actor Russell Tovey as low-level UNIT staff member Barclay, who somehow becomes a spokesperson for humanity as the Homo Aqua - also known as age-old villains the Sea Devils - come out of the sea after years of being dormant. They're furious about the destruction humanity has caused to our oceans, and they want their planet back."
"Iftikhar wrote that it "doesn't seem contrived or forced, but natural and explored in a genuinely fun way that Doctor Who thrives on - pushing ideas to their most bonkers limit." In another four star review, Radio Times writer Louise Griffin agreed that the series "thoughtfully comments on the urgency of the climate crisis," which it should be "commended for"."
The War Between the Land and the Sea is a five-part Doctor Who spin-off following UNIT staffer Barclay, who becomes humanity's spokesperson when the Homo Aqua (Sea Devils) emerge from the ocean after dormancy. The Homo Aqua, led by Salt, demand the return of the oceans in response to human-caused destruction. Key characters include Barclay, Salt (played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and UNIT head Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. The series foregrounds climate urgency while balancing humor and emotion. Early reactions praise its climate messaging as naturally integrated, call the writing sharper and more emotive than recent seasons, while noting occasional clumsy moments.
