Doctor Who made history by showcasing its first same-sex kiss, earning praise from fans for the ‘electrifying chemistry’ between Ncuti Gatwa and Jonathan Groff.

+The second season of ‘Monster’ on Netflix will be released later this year.
+Internet users warn that the new Netflix series with Benedict Cumberbatch “is not for everyone”

In episode six of the current season, the Doctor (Ncuti) and his companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) travel to 1813 and, at a ball in Bath, England, encounter the bounty hunter Rogue (Jonathan). Initially, they accuse each other of being murderers, but later join forces to confront the Chuldurs, shape-shifting creatures that are killing the guests.

As the episode progresses, the Doctor and Rogue flirt and dance together to create a scandal and expose the Chuldurs. The situation culminates when Rogue kneels and “proposes” to the Doctor in marriage, leading to the discovery that they are dealing with an entire family of Chuldurs, not just one. In the final scene, Rogue sacrifices himself to save Ruby, kissing the Doctor before disappearing into the void.

Fans took to social media, praising the chemistry between the characters and calling for Rogue to become a recurring character. Ncuti Gatwa, the first queer and black Doctor in the series, commented that those who oppose this diversity are not true fans of the show.



Showrunner Russell T Davies agreed with Gatwa’s statement, highlighting that the Doctor’s regenerative nature allows for exploration of different identities.
