"The Web Planet" is an ambitious but somewhat flawed serial from the early
days of Doctor Who. While it features imaginative world-building
and creative alien designs, the story can feel slow-paced at times,
and the special effects may appear dated to modern audiences. However,
the serial still offers plenty of suspenseful moments, intriguing concepts,
and memorable characters, making it a worthwhile watch for fans
of classic Doctor Who.
