8/10
The new series slips into a promising second gear.

A thoroughly entertaining episode, I really enjoyed "The Devil's Chord". Already, I feel that both Ncuti and Millie have become comfortable in their roles and there's genuine chemistry between the two.

Jinkx Monsoon is the surprise standout element - they were a top notch villain and a natural successor to Neil Patrick Harris' Toymaker. Monsoon was genuinely creepy in this episode and brought a sense of true peril to the proceedings.

There are many moments of this episode that will remain in the viewer's memory - and for all the right reasons.

Two episodes in (excluding the Christmas special) and I'm feeling comfortable that "Doctor Who" has course corrected.

8 out of 10.
