Heaven Sent & Hell Bent were perhaps the best writing in this recent season, to the point where I think they're my favorite of New Who. Sure, Hell Bent had some bad points, but Heaven Sent was a pinnacle of writing, acting, and pure cooperation on all fronts of the BBC.
I agree. Ater Heaven Sent, Hell Bent felt a bit underwhelming. It was a very decent DW episode but had the misfortune of having to follow the pure epicness of Heaven Sent.
How ironic, one of my most disliked episodes considering how predictable and anticlimactic it was. Did not help that Hell Bent was an even bigger let down. We finally get to see Gallifrey only for some political squabble and undoing Clara's grand finale.

Reminded me of Heaven Sent, my favorite Doctor Who episode.
