I’m not Bri’ish. One week I decided to learn me some Doctor Who lore and history, seeing as how it’s been on forever and people like it. It must be good right?
I gave up the second night. I’m sorry, but you guys can keep the Doctor.
It’s an aquired taste. Very helter-skelter between actors/show-runners/decades. Meant to appeal to a younger crowd, but also occasionally nightmare inducing.
Edit: if I may make a recommendation, watch the episode “The Eleventh Hour” (series 5 episode 1, from 2010). Matt Smith’s first full episode as The Doctor gives a solid primer for what can be expected from the show as a whole.
I stumbled across Doctor Who when I was five years old (Tom Baker, of course) and have been a fan ever since. I had no idea how to recommend it to an adult until just now – thank you!
I’ve run across the question of how to break into Who a few times. Tried to come up with a list of introductory episodes: one that explains the basic premise, one light-hearted, one scary, one message heavy, yadda yadda. But each time, I’d always come back to “The Eleventh Hour” as the best foot forward.
Have you tried the original doctor who? I enjoyed those way more than nu-who; especially the capaldi stuff (which, as much as I liked the actor, the story arcs were just kinda bleh imo). I stopped watching after capaldi regenerated. Out of the nu-who though, I’d say (original) David Tennant/Christopher Eccleston > Matt Smith > capaldi ??? Other nu-whos.

Some of the stuff i found was interesting. The angel statues was neat.
