My husband is on the “Donna is annoying” camp. Which is totally understandable especially since she basically screamed every line during her first appearance. He softened up on her later on cos she’s funny but still thinks she’s mostly annoying
I think Martha is underrated. She’s a doctor, actually brings knowledge/expertise, and still has the human compassion aspect that Rose and Donna rely on. Her only flaw is that she had a crush on the Doctor and he didn’t reciprocate.
Martha is definitely underrated. It also doesn't help that her story is relatively short. Most (primary) companions get 2-3 series, I think she got 1/2 to 1 series, maybe a little more with a cameo (it's been a little while).
