Hey, I’m a huge Star Trek fan and have seen all of that stuff endlessly.

I love the Star Trek community, and it seems Doctor who has a similar thing.

So, I want to check out this show. Can someone recommend a good place to start?

Can I just pick a series based on the actor? I was considering the series with Matt Smith. Just because I saw a few clips with him.

    Thanks! I had a hard time getting through the trek series from the 60s. The pacing was a bit too slow.

    I had to grind through it to finish that series.

    I might actually go with the newest doctor at this point. Maybe the more modern show will help me get into it more easily.

    Thank you for all your information 🙏

        After reading a few comments, I decided to start with the first episode of Nuwho.

        I remember watching the first episode of a different doctor and feeling like I fell into the middle of a story. It was an episode where Christmas trees attacked or something like that.

        So, starting with the first doctor of the new series is probably best. The episode was OK. But it was good enough to keep watching. In fact I’m kind of looking forward to it.

        It was a bit silly, I wonder if the series becomes more serious over time.

        Once I watch a few more episodes I’ll make a new post with my mini review. Just wanted to share my experience so far.

          The show does have some darker and more serious parts but it does overall stay pretty silly yeah

            Thanks, I think it will serve as a good show. I had to stop watching “The Boys” because it was so depressingly dark.
