Noting how the two-part structure allowed it to take its time, he concluded that the 'script goes to the top of the pile as amongst the best modern Doctor Who has to offer.' Reviewer Richard Edwards was generally positive towards the two-parter, though he noted the cliffhanger of 'Daleks in Manhattan' was hurt by the reveal of Dalek Sec's hybrid form in Radio Times. 's Travis Fickett was less positive, giving the episode a score of 6.5 out of 10. He found the Daleks to come off 'goofy and almost comic relief' and, unlike Wright, felt that Tallulah was an offensive stereotype, as well as the other Americans as annoying stock characters. Furthermore, despite good acting from Tennant and Agyeman and some 'nice images', Fickett criticised the premise for not making much sense, with its message 'muddled'. References.

The American inbetweeners was an awful adaptation (if you can even call it that). They completely butchered the original inbetweeners.I think generally casting in America is so poorly done. It's more done on good looks and white teeth than acting skill.
I rarely see an american show and see a young (25 or under) actor and think he's sold me. It always feels so fake. UK seems to do a far better job of getting more genuine actors who act their part incredibly well. Having recently watched SHIELD (another american TV show) I have to admit that both Simmons and Fitz are by far the best actors on the show (honourable mention to Ward) and they're both from the UK. It feels to me like American actors just don't live up to their roles, they act their character but they don't become them, they don't draw you in. I'm not saying all American actors do this (David Hyde Pierce from Frasier (Niles) did a bloody fantastic job (as did Kelsey Grammar)) but it's a common trend.
