In some way I have to blame the British as a whole, as they are funding this, not because they want to mind you they are forced to support it. And that is the problem, the show knows it never has to worry about money, or be able to sell the show in other countries, so they can go the low effort way instead. This seems to be made by people who was told about DW in passing, and just filled in the blanks with fan fiction from twitter. It's sad to see people defending the show, because "Hey, look they gender swap a character, how funny", when said thing because a mockery of the original story and are just done to hide the failure of all involved in understanding the source material. I now see why the estate of Terry Pratchett and his daughter have washed their hands of this project, and said it shares nothing with the stories he made, other that the theft of the names of those involved. In a time with so much pain and hopelessness I don't see why we have to add more into it, the original stories where fun, innovating and self critic in a way, this this is just sad really.
In short all things you loved from the books are gone, change or dumbed down. If you want to see DW in moving picture from, look up the movies and animations, even though the budget was smaller and they are older they are still light years ahead from even the goal of this series.
