My standard warning to Dr Who newbies, which I encourage @LadyDragonfly to contradict if it’s off the mark:
It’s a series that’s willing to experiment, and the tone, style, and even genre varies wildly from one episode to another — Buffy is the closest comparison I can think of — and as a result, one episode can be incredible and the next a complete dud. Some of the best & worst TV I’ve seen. So don’t get turned off by first reactions; dip your toe in multiple times.
