The further adventures of the time travelling alien adventurer and his companions.
Ok so lately I've been really into sci-fi stuff. All my friends were on a Doctor Who binge and I was feeling out of the loop so I decided to join in. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. This is one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life...it's up there with Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer...two of my favorite shows ever. I can watch re-runs all day, every day. It's official...I'm a Whovian :)
But the best part about Doctor Who? The fact that it is such a HUGE part of British media and it's almost a way of life. I feel like I have just opened a door into something amazing and brand new. Being American this show really didn't have an impact on my life or childhood in any way so when I finally did get involved it seemed crazy that people have been dedicated to this show for almost 50 years!
I don't want to go into details about the show at all, mostly because it's too complicated to explain, but also because I didn't know what I was getting into until I watched the first episode and that was the best possible introduction I could have had. The writers really knew what they were doing when they set up that first episode (because as usual the Netflix summary didn't do the show justice). There was enough action to keep me entertained, the humor was witty and ultimately made me want to watch another episode. I especially love the chemistry between the Doctor and Rose's mom. That is GREAT writing!
My advice to anyone interested in this show is to just watch it. Find the time to sit down and let the time travelling doctor do the rest. You won't regret it!
5 stars!!!
