 "Oxygen" is a standout episode of Doctor Who Series 10, praised for its 
 chilling atmosphere, social commentary, and Peter Capaldi's powerful 
 performance. 
  
 **Strengths:** 
  
 * **Unique Concept:** The idea of a space station where oxygen is a 
 commodity 
 is both chilling and thought-provoking. It raises important questions about 
 corporate greed, social inequality, and the value of human life. 
  
 * **Atmospheric and Suspenseful:** The episode effectively builds suspense 
 and creates a claustrophobic atmosphere, with the constant threat of oxygen 
 deprivation adding to the tension. 
  
 * **Peter Capaldi's Performance:** Capaldi delivers a powerful and nuanced 
 performance, conveying the Doctor's frustration, fear, and determination 
 in the face of this deadly threat. 
 * **Character Development:** The episode provides some strong character 
 moments, particularly for the Doctor, as he faces the consequences of 
 his actions and grapples with his own mortality. 
  
 * **Visuals and Sound Design:** The episode is visually striking, 
 with effective use of lighting and sound design to create a sense 
 of dread and isolation. 
  
 **Possible Weaknesses:** 
  
 * **Some May Find it Disturbing:** The concept of people dying from lack of 
 oxygen can be quite disturbing for some viewers. 
  
 **Overall Impression:** 
  
 "Oxygen" is a chilling and thought-provoking episode that explores complex 
 social issues within the framework of a science fiction story. It's a 
 testament 
  to the strengths of Series 10 and a must-watch for any Doctor Who fan. 
  
  **Rating:** 
  
  Considering the strong concept, atmospheric setting, and Peter Capaldi's 
  powerful performance, I'd rate "Oxygen" a **9/10**. It's a near-perfect 
  episode that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll. 
  
  **Breakdown for viewers:** 
  
  * **For fans who enjoy suspenseful stories, thought-provoking themes, 
  and strong character performances:** 9.5/10 or even 10/10 
  
  * **For viewers who are easily disturbed by depictions 
  of violence or death:** 8/10
