A museum of history, military clergy, beach, caves, spaceship, forest, bedroom. The Angels story had all of those!
Well, yes. I've already acknowledged Angels - I'm not complaining about this series. My point was precisely that it hasn't been too bad. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The forest was part of the spaceship. Forgot to mention the museum. But there was carping about that - because they'd clearly used an earth building and not invented an alien looking thingy. (not my criticism - this thread is talking about the problems of creating alien worlds that people don't whinge about).

The military clergy idea was nice but the story wasn't exactly about their society and how its run. It was pretty much about looking for and then running away from monsters. But I do love the clever way they didn't just have plain soldiers. What with them chasing after an Angel and all.

I only really mentioned the Mutants in the sense of them trying to create a believable world with a history, society and politics and the Doctor getting caught up in it all. As opposed to just helping them look for and then run away from a monster. (And for clarity: I thought Angel story was superb. Loved it. Just saying I like a bit of allegory scifi every now and then.)
