Whenever Amy's Choice is brought up online, I always see the same, old "It's so underrated" or "People don't recognize how good it is", yet at the same time, I see nothing but constant praise for it. Call me crazy, but I feel as if it's rated fairly highly. Maybe my definitions are off or something, but if something is considered underrated, yet gets constant praise from a lot of people, it's not really underrated, is it? It might've been when it first came out, but I don't think it is now. What do you think?

Yeah, I don't know either. I like it, my dork of a husband likes it. Online fandom seems to like it, too.
Maybe the underrated part is describing the not-we reaction to it? I don't recall seeing a lot of mainstream reference to it like Blink or Empty Child got.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I l8e bits of it but as a whole it leaves me a bit “meh.” It feels like a fantasy story written by someone who doesn’t really get or like fantasy. Also agree with you on “underrated” being overused to describe perfectly adequate stories.

+1 for bloody awful.
So for me, 'No' is the answer to the original question!

I thought it was terrific. Toby Jones was a wonderful Valeyard with more dark comedy added. Seeing the alt-Leadworth was also a nice touch. All the regulars gave good performances with Arthur getting probably his first of many episodes where he acts Smith and Gillan off the screen. They're good...he's great.
I also don't think it's underrated. In the DWM polls it's always one of the highest in S5 and one of the higher rated Smith eps overall.
