The thing lacking in season 1 was a really stand-out episode, but then that series was always gonna be less about blowing minds and more about the writers, actors, producers, etc, trying to find their feet: creating something that'd appeal to a modern audience without alienating those fans brought up on the classic era. On those terms I'd say they did a pretty decent job of it overall. (And hiring Tennant for series 2t was obviously the mother of all masterstrokes.)
