Should I watch all 20 years of the original run or just begin with the new one which I think is been around for 15 years? What are the best episodes? I’ve seen only a handful of the old and New ones but I liked what Ive seen, just hoping for a guide to really get into it
I started with the new one and have since gone back to watch the original. From my experience this will be the best for a new viewer as I found that the charm in many of the original episodes was lost in not having lived at the time they aired. And I may not have as much appreciation for how the show began if I didn’t have the knowledge of how the Dr Who series has evolved that the revival goes to lengths to give.
Just curious, what are the peaks and lows of the new Doctor Who?
Variable to taste. For me it’s all rise throughout 9, 10 and 11 of the Doctor’s regenerations with only a handful of dull or missable episodes. I absolutely adore Peter Capaldi’s time with the show but Clara just doesn’t do it for me as a companion. I actually haven’t had a chance to watch enough of 13 to form an opinion but the consensus seemed to be that the story is bogged down with weak companions.
I hope that someone else may provide some insight.
