Demons of the Punjab is an incredible episode imo.
Yeah, this is the best one.
I also really liked Rosa (although the villain was woeful), and the Spyfall two-parter is pretty good.
Prisoner of the Judoon is also probably pretty good, but I feel that how well it ends up being regarded may depend on how the rest of Thirteen's era plays out.

I totally get what you're saying about Dan, but I think Doctor Who can do a three-man squad. Nine, Eleven and Twelve did it to various degrees of success - Nine had a banger line-up of Rose and Jack Harkness, Eleven had Amy and Rory (which I mean... hit and miss imo) and Twelve had Bill and Nardole. I would prefer Yaz get a solo season, but if Dan is A) decent enough of a character and/or B) a massive shake-up to the formula, like a Doctor from 4 or 5 incarnations in the future who hijacks the TARDIS for a few episodes, I can live with Dan.
My issue with bringing in Dan is more that after hitting on a genuinely good pairing with Thirteen and Yaz, they've already decided to add someone else. A team of three can and does work well, but with the upcoming season being shorter due to Covid (which of course wouldn't have been known at the time, so it's an unfortunate scenario that can't be helped), and new cast members getting more focus in their first few scripts for obvious reasons, I feel like now the focus is going to be shifted off The Doctor/Yaz dynamic for a disproportionate amount of the episodes we are getting. For once it's not Chibnall's fault, a full season would have allowed things to evolve better - and John Bishop is great, so I'm sure I'll enjoy Dan - it's just frustrating to see that they were finally right there with a TARDIS dynamic that worked, and it's being tinkered with immediately.
