It’s not that they don’t work
It’s that they always end up backfiring
The Doctor is hardly even needed to stop him, should just let him get on with his terrible plans and fail on his own!

I LOVE Vienna! The audio The Memory Box is also a great introduction to her, though you can absolutely jump into Master! with no prior context.

The villain being the cause of their own downfall has a poetic justice that I appreciate.

Simm as he is in World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is a contender, and he’s decent in his first outing. Unfortunately, The End of Time exists and shoots this Master down to hell.

I tend to feel like a lot of the Master’s plots are stirring up trouble near the Doctor so he has to thwart it and they can spend some time together…

Alternatively to the one Coldstream’s mentioned

I am actually caught up and a bit ahead. That story was just kind of bad and I forgot it

Honestly fair, agreed on it not being great, but for me when the master showed up were the highlights (also the not-cult-of-skaro)

I LOVE Missy. Sacha’s Master has really grown on me though!

Jacobi is my favourite master, followed closely by Gomez.
Dhawan is alright, he’s great in Spyfall part one and Power, but I can’t sit through Spyfall Part Two or The Timeless Children. I hope RTD brings him back as the Master, I think he could be incredible.
Although, if we look at how RTD wrote the Master (The End of Time my despised), maybe not.
Simm is great in WEaT/TDF, I just really hate everything about what he does in The End of Time.

I really love The Memory Box. Completely insane story. Jonathan Morris was on another plane of existence when he wrote that. It might start a bit slow for some, but once they get into what that memory box does… You may decide if it’s brilliant or really stupid, or both. (Also I remember thinking it had nice social commentary but I don’t remember why exactly so that might be my memories conflicting it with something else. Something about a life with labour so constant you could barely call it living iirc)
It’s right here for nada on Spotify in case anyone reading this needed an extra incentive

Gotta be Gomez. I think she is really the only one to make the newer Approach for the Revival Master work for me.
Her Chemistry with Capaldi is Top Notch and there is a lot to love with her as Missy.
Honestly minus Jacobi who I am not too familiar since I haven’t listened to the Audios yet (I have them on my List, I will get around to it, okay??)
To be honest not much of a Master Person, I’d have my Top 4 (Gomez, Delgado, Beevers and MacQueen) but eh they are not a Character that I jump down and up for whenever they show up honestly.
