I don't get the hate for this episode

Sure, Love and Monsters isn't a 9 or 10/10, but it's definitely not a 1/10. I enjoyed the POV style found footage, and lots the camera work was great in this episode. The Abzorbaloff was a really bad villain though, but that doesn't undermine the rest of the episode and it's creativity. The characters were all likable, and I particularly liked how it didn't play out like every other episode and instead focused on what impact the Doctor has on the people who he surrounds himself with. I liked the use of Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, and I thought the ending was nice (apart from the weird Ursula-slab) and lots of the dialogue was great. Most people just rate this episode a 1/10 because of the bad villain, but they don't give it any credit for it's experimental nature and different style.

Love and Monsters isn't a classic episode, but it's not near as bad as everyone says it is. It's a weird episode, but it's also enjoyable and lots of fun to watch. 7.5/10
