Could an American write Doctor Who? - Babylon 5 creator throws hat in the ring

[Necropolitan]

And this has been a fault of the rebooted series from the start. Everything is rushed and paper-thin. Wasn't the case for the classic series.

Exactly.

In Classic Who the locations felt lived-in, even when they were just quarries.

Characters felt like they had lives outside of the scenes they were in.

And The Doctor wasn't the most important person in all of existence who everyone hated, feared, and/or loved, they were just a clever and knowledgeable person who showed up and tried to help.

The last two seasons gave us a soulless patchwork abomination of a vanity project where good storytelling is sacrificed for nonsensical 'twists' that are never properly foreshadowed, failed messaging, endless nostalgia-baiting that ruined Classic characters, and The Doctor getting wins handed to him by luck.
