My Take
I have a soft spot for Chibnall's nerve. With Broadchurch he proved he could turn a small-town crime into a study of human grief and guilt, writing with patience and real moral weight. Then, as the third showrunner of the modern Doctor Who, he made the bold call to cast the first woman in the title role. The reaction was fiercely divided, but he stood behind the story he believed in, and that conviction matters to me more than universal approval. Writers who take swings and absorb the backlash without losing their voice are usually the ones with another classic still in them.
