An everlasting masterpiece of science-fiction. Any other time traveling-related movie is bound to have taken some of its inspiration from this marvelous piece of art.

Some seasons drag, but most are creative, wacky, and very, very fun! It's also refreshing to see a new lead to spice things up.

Iba a ponerle un 8 o 9, pero desde la temporada 11 el guión a ido muy flojo dando popularidad a los acompañantes en lugar de al Doctor. Esto se debe al cambio de dirección.

La segunda mejor serie que jamas vi, me encanta todos los personajes que el doctor va conociendo a lo largo de su trayecto, algo asi como Samurai Jack aunque da pena que la mayoria no vuelvan a aparecer. En resumen es casi perfecta, peroLa segunda mejor serie que jamas vi, me encanta todos los personajes que el doctor va conociendo a lo largo de su trayecto, algo asi como Samurai Jack aunque da pena que la mayoria no vuelvan a aparecer. En resumen es casi perfecta, pero puedo criticar el hecho de que los villanos que si bien son buenos, se quedan sin hacer nada cuando quieren matar al doctor, se quedan quietos escuchando lo que dice y despues se escapa. Ademas la calidad general de la historia y los personajes, en especial el doctor, baja bastante a partir de la quinta temporada... Extraño a David Tennant.… Expand

A big improvement over last season, Whittaker and Chibnall are finally getting into their groove. Without spoilers: There's a lot happening, there's quite a lot old Who coming back and I'm really excited for the remaining episodes this season!

Dr Who a mixed bag really. Mostly good stories held back by dated effects and low budgets back in the day. New Who I found and the effects were a lot better for sure. Matt Smith was peak New Who as he actually came across like an Alien. TheDr Who a mixed bag really. Mostly good stories held back by dated effects and low budgets back in the day. New Who I found and the effects were a lot better for sure. Matt Smith was peak New Who as he actually came across like an Alien. The other two previous Doctors didn't have that sense of Alien enough. I dipped out early Capaldi due to the weak writing and I never heard anything good about the Jodie run to pull me back in. I have time locked my Dr Who rewatches at 9th, 10th and 11th. I don't care about the 12th plus and not it old Who.… Expand

I would give it 10/10, but the last 2 seasons are just horrible. I'm not blaming Jodie, the director is just awful. It is so sad to watch your favorite show turning into crap.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jodie's doctor is improving from season to season! She is heart-warming, thoughtful and passionate as the doctor. Every now and then she gives a nod to fellow doctors like 11th and 10th in her performances. This show is all about changes, there isn't such a thing as canon that can't be rewritten. We saw it in the 50th anniversary and saw it in seasons 7 and 12 final episodes. In season 12 we see strong female characters and a lot of new monsters that certainly made their marks on the show. Can't wait for season 13 and beyond!… Expand

The only good point in Chibnall's era is the Master and some soundtracks, the others characters are bad and I am not really linking Jodie's Doctor, she is not the Doctor enough. I really miss Russel T Davies's era which was my favorite, Steven Moffat was great as well, not as much as Russel T Davies but he gave us pretty good storys even after started being the showrunner. That's why I am leaving a 8/10, because I see the whole show and not only the two last series, and to me the show deserves a 10/10 if we forget Chibnall's era.… Expand

One of my absolute favourite series. One can really admire the team behind the writing, you just need to excuse the one or two inconsistencies that pop up over 15 years.

The show has kinda gone down hill with the last few seasons. I think the writing is to blame. For example Jodie Whittaker seems like she has the range and acting chops to do the character justice, they just don't write her doctor with a distinct personality from the others. Unfortunately her doctor, feels like the most generic version of the doctor. Again I think she's got the ability to really deliver, but the writing of her lines and character feels like you could fit it in with any doctor and you'd just be like. Yep, sounds like the doctor. Anyhow If you like Sci-fi Doctor Who is an absolute must.… Expand

The revival era of Doctor Who brings back one of the best and most iconic sci-fi franchises in a refreshing, unique (yet still in keeping with the classics), and incredibly entertaining way. Whether you are a kid or an adult, you can enjoyThe revival era of Doctor Who brings back one of the best and most iconic sci-fi franchises in a refreshing, unique (yet still in keeping with the classics), and incredibly entertaining way. Whether you are a kid or an adult, you can enjoy this bombastic and fantastic piece of television by watching the adventures of the Doctor in the TARDIS, played by various amazing actors. Accompanying the Doctor is their multiple funny, empathetic, and likable companions who usually range anywhere from comedic relief, to romantic partner, to moral compass of the Doctor. Speaking off, there is a little bit of every type of media genre in the 150+ episodes. Horror, action, comedy, romance, mystery, superhero, and any other genre you can think of can be found in this endlessly diverse show. While the concepts and ideas can be wacky and ridiculous, the acting, dialogue, writing, and music are almost always on point. Some unbeatable, must-watch classics include The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways, The Girl in the Fireplace, The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, Human Nature/The Family of Blood, Midnight, The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, Vincent and the Doctor, A Christmas Carol, The Day of the Doctor (my personal favorite), Heaven Sent, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, and Twice Upon a Time. Those are only some of the phenomenal episodes within excellently-crafted seasons. I could go on for days why this is such a good show, but I shouldn't so let's talk about the writer eras and seasons before wrapping up. The Russell T. Davies's era is the pinnacle of the show with the best writing, music, acting, and series arcs you could hope for. It successfully revives the show in a very exciting way and overall deserves a 9/10. The Steven Moffat era is a little weaker in terms of writing, as Moffat's stories sometimes have too much in them or too little. That is not every season though, as some have tightly-written, delightfully mysterious series arcs. However, almost every one of his seasons with bad arcs is redeemed by the banger individual episodes. Also, the acting and music are still at the same level of quality as they were in the Russell T. Davies era, so Moffat's time with the show gets a 7/10 from me. Now for the Chris Chibnall era of the show which is just unfortunate. Despite a few good single episodes here and there, the series arcs are either lazily-put-together, uninteresting trash or over-stuffed trash. The writing is basically a self-parody of previous eras, the music is generic, and the acting is nothing special. I have no problem with the people behind the camera and in front of it, because they are doing the best with what they are given, but that only reaches so far. Overall, the Chibnall era had some good ideas that were stomped into dust by the awful execution so I give it a 3/10. Despite my negative words for the current run of the show I have no personal anger towards the people involved, and no matter how bad the show gets, it will never spoil the first ten seasons. I suggest only watching up to Twice Upon a Time, but that opinion might change considering Russell T. Davies is back as show-runner, and he very well could save the show once again. But you are allowed to do what you want. To close this off, here is my ranking of the seasons:
(1)Series 4: 10/10
(2)Series 1: 10/10
(3)Series 5: 9/10
(4)Series 3: 8/10
(5)Series 10: 8/10
(6)Series 2: 7/10
(7)Series 6: 7/10
(8)Series 4, the Specials: 7/10

(11)Series 7: 5/10
(12)Series 13: 4/10
(13)Series 11: 3/10
(14)Series 12: 2/10.… Expand
