I mostly like Doctor Who for being a fun, campy show. I stopped watching after Capaldi initially because it felt like the show wasn't really doing that anymore. I've been re-watching the modern show after checking out classic Who for the first time along with family recently. We recently got back up to where I had stopped and... I'm still not really feeling it. But the show has been on for quite a while since then. So I'm kind of curious what it's like now and if it's worth pushing through/skipping ahead to get to a part that I'll like more.

Gatwa's Christmas special, "Joy to the World" is utterly fantastic.

While I enjoyed Whitaker's seasons, I do feel that the show has returned to form with Gatwa (and Russel T Davies return).

Gatwa's season has ups and downs, but more hits than misses, for me. And even the ones I consider misses are still wildly entertaining and don't overstay their welcome.
