 "Doctor Who: The Mutants" is a six-part serial from the Jon Pertwee era, 
 originally broadcast in 1972. Here's a review primarily based on the 
 script provided on chakoteya.net: 
  
 Episode 1: The Doctor and Jo visit the planet Solos, 
 where tensions are high between the native Solonians 
 and the human overlords. The episode effectively sets 
 up the premise and introduces the main characters, 
 including the rulers of Solos and the Earth authorities. 
 The tension builds as the Doctor investigates the cause 
 of the unrest on the planet. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor uncovers the truth behind the mutations 
 affecting the Solonians, revealing them to be caused by 
 a corrupting influence. Meanwhile, the character dynamics 
 are well-developed, with the Doctor's interactions 
 with the ruling class and Jo's involvement with the Solonians 
 adding depth to the story. The suspense continues to build 
 as the Doctor gets closer to uncovering the truth. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Doctor faces off against the corrupt authorities 
 and tries to help the Solonians regain their freedom. 
 The action sequences are engaging, and the stakes feel higher 
 as the Doctor races against time to prevent further mutations. 
 The moral dilemmas faced by the characters add complexity to the story. 
 Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 4: The Doctor races against time to stop the corrupt authorities 
 from carrying out their plan to subjugate the Solonians. The action 
 sequences are intense, and the resolution is satisfying. However, 
 some may find the pacing slightly slow in this episode. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Episode 5: The climax of the story sees the Doctor and his allies 
 launching a final assault on the corrupt authorities' base. 
 The resolution is satisfying, though some may find it slightly 
 rushed. The episode sets up future conflicts between the Doctor 
 and other oppressive regimes, hinting at the ongoing struggle 
 for justice. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Episode 6: The Doctor reflects on the events of the adventure 
 as he and Jo depart. The emotional impact is poignant, 
 and the ending leaves a sense of hope for the future. 
 While some episodes suffer from pacing issues, 
 the overall experience is enjoyable and sets 
 the stage for future adventures. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Overall, "The Mutants" is a solid Doctor Who serial 
 that explores themes of oppression, corruption, and freedom. 
 Jon Pertwee delivers a charismatic performance as the Doctor, 
 and the dynamic between him and his companions adds depth 
 to the narrative. While some episodes suffer from pacing issues, 
 the overall experience is enjoyable and thought-provoking. 
 Overall Rating: 6.5/10
