10th>9th>11th!!!!
The new doctors sucks ass (or the writers are garbage). Great idea to get a female lead but terrible execution. Just wait for the next doctor...90% of the episodes under the current doctor is mostly about lecturing you, SJW, METOO movement, etc. You’re better off reading a good book instead of wasting your time on this garbage.
Love this show but Season 11 was terrible. And I thought Season 10 was bad. It looks like every new season, for the past couple of seasons, the show just gets worst & worst. Wish they would go back to the style of first 7 seasons of the reboot. Or just completely reboot this show once again.
I really want the new doctor to work but so far it’s just blah. I don’t get the same excitement I used to get from watching doctor who. This doctor & the last doctor are just boring. Hopefully they get better writers. It’s either that or the acting. Either way I would say you’re not missing much from the new season of doctor who.
I really want to like the new season of doctor who but just doesn’t feel like doctor who. So far the first 3 episodes don’t create that sense of excitement I used to get from watching doctor who. Hopefully the episodes get better.
I am a huge fan of the contemporary DOCTOR WHO but my interest waned when Jenna Coleman left the series and it began to feel like the brilliant Steven Moffat was weary and had run out of ideas in series 10. I had hesitations when it was announced that Chris Chibnall was going to pick up the reigns for the 13th Doctor. I had found his previous episodes had two major drawbacks, the sonic screwdriver became a magic wand that got the crew out of every imaginable mess and he dumped too many elements into each episodes making the story lines muddy and eclectically weak. I feel the first female Doctor suffered under his helmsmanship. I even put off seeing the 13th series because I didn’t hold out much hope for the story arcs. However, when I binged THE FLUX episodes in one day, I found that his annoying habit of making an episode an encyclopaedia of Who cannon, really worked well when measured over a season. The season’s story arc blossomed as most of the iconic threats were resurrected for his “end of days” narrative. I was pleasantly surprised. The first 7 seasons of the contemporary WHO will always be 10 (perfect) out of 10 for me. Seasons 8, 9 & 10 fell to 9s (superb) or 8s (great) and then to 7s (good) but the Chibnal years (seasons 11 and 12) barely hung on to 6s (fair) and 5s (meh), but I’m raising my rating for series 13 back up to a high 8 (really great) for Chibnall’s finale season. I’m so looking forward to Russel T Davies picking up the reigns as show runner in the fall of 2022. [Classic SciFi]
I hope season 13 (2021) ends up being good but not holding my breath given that Whittaker is still the doctor. Will have to suffer through her terrible rendition of the doctor & oh yea all the SJW crap the writers will be throwing in. But I do hope they focus more on the si-fi aspects of the show.
I'm reviewing all the Chis Chibnall episodes of Doctor Who in anticipation of him ascending to show runner this next season. I loved BROADCHURCH, but when I dipped into his Doctor Who scripts: 42 (3x07); The Hungry Earth (part 1), Cold Blood (part 2) (5x08, 09), Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (7x02), The Power of Three (7x04), and a group of 2012 mini-episodes: POND LIFE (5 parts) and P.S. (available on YouTube), I thoroughly enjoyed the mini-series - they were top-notch, heart-felt and memorable. Unfortunately the individual episodes were less memorable and diminished by an over abundance of great ideas/plot points/interesting characters all crammed into one episode. This may, however, foretell a strength - as a show runner he could plant this plethora of ideas over the series arch allowing his writers room (a new concept to UK series development but common to US television) to flesh out each of them in the individual episodes. He also had a bad habit of resolving all the crises with a wave of the sonic screwdriver, which is a costly error for anyone creating fantasy worlds, begging the question, why did the magic only seem to have it's ability in the nick of time. Chris Chibnal has also written for LIFE ON MARS (UK), TORCHWOOD, LAW & ORDER (UK), UNITED (film), THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY (BBC film). Personally I'm really looking forward to Chibnal at the head, and Jodi Whittaker taking up the mantel next year. It can't come soon enough!
The first seasons are good, but ever since Russell T Davies left, the show has mostly turned to crap, with some notable exceptions (like the 50th anniversary, which was entertaining).
Doctor Who is a sci-fi show about an alien who can travel through time and space and he has a human companion with him and they go on adventures.
The alien, the doctor, looks human but wears the realistic nature of being an alien and the weight of the experiences he's been through, along with his great age.
The show originally started in the 60s and went on for decades, but this show from 2005 onwards is a soft reboot, and no knowledge is required from the original show, and enough is explained in this show to not need to have seen episodes of the previous show.
The adventures they go on encompass all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy stories, from campy to far future to historical to horror.
Being able to travel through time and space provides many opportunities for interesting adventures, and the show often takes advantage of that premise, giving full, interesting experiences, rich characters and emotional depth.
You will meet some of the most interesting fictional aliens and alien mythology. Doctor Who has one of the most interesting fictional universes ever.
Although it can seem silly sometimes, and the premise seems farfetched, people die all the time in the show, and there's many dark moments throughout. The character of the doctor is very interesting, as are the companions as they come to be explored through the show.
There are many good alien designs and villains and mythology of alien races, it's all often interesting. Most episodes are standalone, but each season also has it's own arc.
It's a good show, and it's good for a long time.
Even if you don't like the doctor or a companion or the era, it will eventually change to an era you might like better. It makes the show constantly fresh.
Remember to watch the christmas specials because some are important.
Here is a watch order. Included are minisodes, which you don't need to watch. Also included are spinoffs such as The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood. Both of these are good shows, especially Torchwood later on, but they're not necessary to understand what goes on in Doctor Who.

Also don't read the trivia spoiler section on IMDB if you haven't seen future seasons. And don't read the normal section if you want to be surprised.
One of the problems with doctor who is the messy continuity, which becomes more promiment with each showrunner. Compounded by the classic show and spinoffs, but it's all not fatal or necessary for understanding Doctor Who, as each showrunner likes to start fresh, so it's like a soft reboot within the show each time.
Doctor Who is quite good for a lot of seasons, and has some great episodes and great moments with consistent depth. And being good for a lot of seasons is a long time, much longer than most shows, so it shouldn't be surprising the show begins it's decline later on. Even with the decline, Doctor Who is still mostly an entertaining show to watch with a lot of good episodes. All in all, Doctor Who is an essential show to watch as a sci-fi fan.
New doctor. Let’s hope they don’t fuck it up more than the last 2 doctors. At least the new companion is hot AF.
I’ve watched every episode of Doctor Who & season 10 of 2005 reboot was the most difficult to get through. While the actor is amazing, I don’t think he made a good doctor. Can’t wait for season 11 & to see how the female doctor will fair. Still the greatest TV show ever made.
A mix of mind-blasting good and harrowing bad.
This season is really ruined by his new companion. Donna is just awful.

The first season was amazing, and the Doctor had so much heart an history. The 10th Doctor is pretty good too, but 11 is just so weird, I can't take it. He doesn't care about anything, and it just kind of seems like bad character development...
After hearing so many good things about this show I decided to give it a try and I must say that I'm deeply disappointed. I've only watched 2 episodes so far but it seems like it's a (better) mix between Fringe / Supernatural and Torchwood (all of which I don't appreciate).
I'll continue watching, at least some more episodes but I got a feeling that this won't rival with shows like Breaking Bad or The 4400 as the "best show ever", not even in the sci-fi genre.
This show was great once... it was deep, emotional, creepy, yet funny and optimistic at the same time.
I swear each episode is more over-the-top than the last these days and I really don't like that. I'm sure it still appeals to many, many people, but it's completely lost the substance and intelligence that made me look forward to watching it every week.
Besides, there's only so many identical Dalek/Cybermen episodes I can watch before getting terminally bored with the whole thing.
Started out great, but I despise what Stephen Moffat has done with it.
Was great but then it turned into a mess of woke, SJW and left wing rubbish.
Fans emphasize the actor who portrays the Doctor as if that is what makes the series enjoyable or not. There are fundamental problems with the series that a change of cast has never been able to overcome. The problem may lie in retaining the same writers.
Every person in the Doctor Who Universe speaks with a U.K. English accent. The stories are shallow and do not require a clever solution to their conflicts. Because the scripts are full of their own importance conflicts are usually solved by virtue of the presence of the Doctor. There is too much inappropriate silliness. The music direction is all over the place with the music rarely complementing what is going on in the story. Unique characters and species have become series regulars because original ideas are not encouraged in a series where fans are more comfortable with which they are already familiar. The series requires a steep learning curve for new viewers. Whatever science there is in this science fiction series is a thin veneer over a wall of fantasy.
Doctor Who is a less than average, poorly written, over acted, mess maintained by the fervency of its dedicated fan base that reinforces itself well enough to never have to acknowledge the flaws of its source.
This is way too over rated. The stories are bland and the characters too slap stick.
Seriously overrated. Too melodramatic. Inflated stakes.
What a major disappointment! This show continues to get worse with every episode. The original series was far better than this crap.
Opps episode 14 25 dec13 is missing?
Why is last episode 13 series 7 missing from Itv3 database?
The death of Doctor Who is confirmed #RIPDoctorWho
Complete agree about it being the best thing on TV :D
never seen Whitaker in anything else before Doctor Who so i can't comment on her acting ability, but i hear she was good in Broadchurch so i can only assume she is good with dramatic roles. as The Doctor however, she is woefully bad, with her performance coming across as a bad Tennant/Smith impression and her facial expressions look as if she is practising for a gurning competition.
her costume is terrible (looks like she raided Mork from Orks wardrobe), the new Tardis interior is the worst i have ever seen, far too gloomy and depressing and even the new theme tune is terrible. except for Graham, her companions are so wooden, they practically spew wood chips when they speak.
the season 11 finale was underwhelming, and the season 12 finale completely wrecked canon as well as 50 odd years of Who history. the writing is terrible and the new showrunner needs to go if the show ever stands any chance of recovering
Used to be brilliant, not now.
Without doubt, my favorite tv show of all time, Tennant ;-; i miss you senpai
Why is this show reported as ended? It's still running. There were 4 new specials late 2023, and a new season starting 2024.
This is showing as ended, but there's a new series already started.
This show is not ended, it’s shooting new season now that will premiere in 2024!
I really love the show. Still waiting for more episodes!
Watched from Day 1 of S1E1 upto Peter Capaldi's Doctoe Who. He was ok but I found his version e rather boring & too serious. The storylines might have been ok but I was too bored everytime a episode showed and i watched for 5 min. Then Jodie took over - I'm fr fine with a Females being the Doctor. If the master can change into Female too that is k just both their genetic ability cb as aliens. My problem is that JW Doctoe ll Doctor whi became the most Woke , boring /badlybwritten of all seasons and the companiions were Woke /PC Tickboxesm - Old White Male, Black Individyal & even a Brown Homosexual/Bisexual /Pansexual to please the New Gen idiots who n complain about 'inclusion' bs. I am keeping fingers crossed now that JW run has ended, the original writers/directors are returning that maybe this new Doctor & Season can redeem itself and bring back old fans like me. A
It’s a smart show. You love it or hate it
When do the new episodes air already! ?
Had a very good start and kept me watching for about six or seven seasons, where I then started to lose interest. I think I didn't like Matt Smith as much.
Later I ewatched it with my sister, but we stopped after a few seasons. Not sure how many.
Definitely a very memorable show with incredibly good moments.
I loved it, then liked it, then didn't like it so much anymore. Once Matt Smith became the doctor, I incresingly lost interest in the show. Which is sad, because it had such a good start.
If this show is showing as ended as Disney and BBC have combined to make season 1 of a new series can anyone link the new show so I can mark it off as watched?
Missing the possibility to check in for season 14
Why are 13x07, 13x08, and 13x09 not listed? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/episodes?ref_=tt_eps_sm
I love this show especially with David Tennant and Peter Capaldi as The Doctor.
Season 11 Episode 11 Festive Special 2018 is missing from the list.
The specials list here really needs cleaning up a bit - really hard to navigate especially to differentiate between actual episodes and tv extras
John Bishop is a breath of fresh air to the show with his Scouser (Liverpudlian) humour! The story lines so far have improved too over previous series with Jody.
I miss the other master
When is it coming back!!! 1 episode a year is kinda annoying. You ppl are killing me.
Season One: 6.9. With bad CGI and some cringe-inducing moments, I thought I would hate this show to no end. However, there are some genuine character moments that I love, I love Christopher Eccleston’s take on the Doctor, and I love some of the interesting concepts. I just wish some of these “enemies” didn’t look so goofy or have horrible motivations or didn’t fart for no reason. With a new Doctor on the way, I’m still hyped because he looks like he will bring a fresh take that might rejuvenate my feelings for this series. I really hope so, because I do like this show a lot, but feel like the story and character development takes a back seat to more cringe moments. Here’s to hoping that Season Two is superior!
WHEN IS THE NEW SEASON SUPPOSED TO COME BACK ON? BBC Hasn't even been showing the old episodes anymore. I miss my Dr.Who dammit!
I don’t know about y’all, but I am actually really excited about a female Doctor. The last few seasons have felt really stale to me and perhaps this paradigm shift will breathe some new life into the series.
Did not add DELETE now!
Cannot wait for the female doctor, I just hope that they change scenario writers and don't sacrifice another season for bad story telling.
Dr. Who is low budget crap.
All Hail The Daleks!!!! says a Dalek in Journey's End, S4/Ep13, which a gang of companions, including Sarah Jane, Rose and Donna, helps the Doctor and the TARDIS, which the Daleks are trying to destroy. Oh and we have Mickey, Jackie, the great Martha, Captain Jack and the excellent Gwen and Wilfred pops up too. But the real STAR is DAVROS!!!!!!!! Such an attitude he has! And there's K-9 briefly and Sarah Jane's son. Still emersed in the BBC-A marathon which ends Monday, 12/29, 6 am est, then resumes on 12/31. But there will never be a CLASSIC Doctor Who marathon eh?
BBC-A running Christmas Invasion again, with Tennant having a rocky regen. Harriett Jones is one great prime minister. Oh, uh, why didn't they show any #9 (Christopher Eccleston) eps in this rerun marathon.
Still watching the marathon and it's great to see the Matt Smith eps again -- they were very good. President Richard Nixon in The Impossibel Astronaut sees the TARDIS and says, "What the hell is that?"
Carey Mulligan would have been a great companion -- or even the next Doctor! Oh but she had to have a big movie career after 2007's Blink ep. (Oh still having trouble getting used to the time diff -- I'm posting this at 8:46 pm EST, but it's being recorded as 5:46 PST, right, trakt.tv on the west coast!)
Okay, BBC-A, you won't show The Doctor's Daughter, but at least you're rerunning Blink with the outstanding Carey Mulligan as Sally Sarrow (S3/Ep10)
I hope I haven't missed The Doctor's Daughter rerun (though I do have it on dvd). It is such a great ep and Georgia Moffett was outstanding. Just looked at the marathon schedule (writing this Fri., 12/16, 3:30 pm est) and it's not upcoming. Dang! They're repeating repeats but not The Doctor's Daughter!!??!! Frickin' Daleks at BBC-A!
DW marathon on BBC-A and I'm going backand forth after visiting friends where we (annually) watched A Christmas Story, the 1983 movie of Jean Sherphard's stories -- the best holiday movie! Then I got home and Day of the Doctor!
i loved doctor who untill season 8, i hate the new doctor.
HELP, I need the doctor!!
I'm not sure how I feel about Capaldi yet. Although the last half of the new episode started to feel like Dr Who again.. That first one is always so awkward. 50 years and running, I love this show. Smith was okay, but too boyish for me, I can't wait to see how Capaldi becomes the Doctor. Too everyone saying he's old.. well, so is the Doctor.
I found the "first series" of Doctor Who to be quite enjoyable. For more, see my review:
http://rwlreviews.blogspot.com/2014/04/dvd-season-set-review-doctor-who.html
it was great love it
best show ever. can't wait till the 23th to see it on the big screen in 3d.
I just love DW! It's the BEST SHOW EVER!!!
Love it!!!!!!! Best show ever!!!!!!!!
I love you Matt as the Doctor and hope the rest of time and space you are loved!
What more could you ask-,76 years old and still have the heart bump at the supernatural,heavy on the super.
Best serie EVER!!!! ^
