Hard to rate because of how much the quality varies, both by episode and era. In general, I really enjoyed Nine and Ten, liked Eleven OK, but lost interest with Twelve. And when they made Thirteen a woman to appease the Tumblr crowd, well...

For a short period it had grasped hold of a fun fantasy sort of feel that was desperately lacking in modern television. After a few seasons it quickly devolved into the show it was before it was cancelled. Silly, nonsensical stories that relied on only your attachment to the characters to ride them out.

ChibnallWho lowers the rating a bit due to how boring it is.

just been rewatching since the 2 latest woke doctors are absolute garbage. Matt Smith is definitely my favourite and that hasn't changed. the silence still terrifies me lol, well written with a great message for kids to be good and to stand up for what is write and that an eye for an eye is never the only answer

This show changes with each Doctor and show-runner combination, making it hard to definitively score. It's camp at times, intense at others. Occasionally it feels like it's running out of steam, before surprising you with a great episode. It's quintessentially British. And it has a great soundtrack. Smith~Tennant> Capaldi~Eccleston> Whittaker. Nardole> Martha> Amy> Clara> Rose> Yasmin/Graham> Donna~Bill>> Ryan.

Overall its great SF show, from time to time there are some boring or "missed" episodes, but as in whole its great stuff. Specially Moffat era. Favourite Doctor for me is David Tennant (10th) who had brilliant charisma and performance in his seasons, but lately Capaldi is doing fantastic work as well. Favourite episode is hard to decide, but If I had to I'd probably go with Blink, which is pure classic in this show and totally deserves 9.8 ranking on imdb. Closely behind it SilenceInTheLibrary.

I said earlier that Supernatural has the worst fan base but I stand corrected. Doctor Who has by far the worst fan base, everyone that even kind of likes it depresses me deeply.

Completely, sincerely ridiculous and wonderful. Occasionally terrible and frustrating, but that does not take away from said wonderfulness.

Quite enjoyed the Eccleston ones and the occasional Tennant but lower budgets and diminishing returns mean it's back to just being a boring children's programme now.

best tv show eva

I have really no idea how to rate this,the different eras are almost like different shows and the nostalgia factor also plays a huge role. My favourite season is the one with Donna and the 10th Doctor that one is almost perfect.

Good series, peaked in s09, s04 and s07, Chubby kinda of destroyed it, but it's still good overall

Individual episodes vary so wildly. It's sometimes ridiculous fun, and it's sometimes heartbreaking, and it's sometimes really creepy. It's always camp, though.

If I were to rate through the early Capaldi era, this would be a 95+ but the last few series were barely a 50. It's disappointing that selfish asshats had to inject themselves into the story-writing instead of carrying on a timeless legacy.

only till the end of the 12th doctor. after that, garbage

[rating for season 1 through season 13 (post 2005), because i guess the 2024 season has it's own entry on criticker due to Disney involvement/rebrand...?]

One of my favorite shows. A never-ending character played by the most amazing actors. It encompasses sci-fi, drama, comedy, and fantasy. It never ceases to amaze me

watched as a kid, had it as a special interest. rewatching tho, i hate to say it but the doctor is an abusive obnoxious dickwad. he's always jerkig himself off and has a really weird ass age gap relationship with all his campanions, and its clearly like weird n romantic n shit. things get better with the 12th doctor (and a lot better with the new doctor after the david tenant specials!) but yeag idk. it's kinda hard to rate tbh, thar nostalgia factor is always there for me

Remember to watch the christmas specials as some are important. Full review on trakt.

ok

Some episodes are much better than others

Rating is for seasons 1–4. I adored Eccleston and Tennant, but stopped watching sometime during Smith's run. Nothing against Smith (love him in House of the Dragon and even The Crown)—this appears to be related to Russell T. Davies leaving as showrunner. (I also recall that the Davies-written episodes were my favorite ones). Perhaps I should revisit the show with Davies' & Tennant's return...

S01-79 S02-78 S03-80 S04-83 S05-80 S06-81 S07-78 S08-77 S09-81 S10-77 S11-61 S12-61 S13-65 60th Specails-80

Ignoring some questionably low production values in the first couple seasons, this is an excellent sci-fi procedural that varies in its output from lead to lead.

(90) just for first 9-10 seasons

Incredibly inconsistent in quality, but when it was good it was good

Up through the Capaldi years, this was one of the most fascinating shows that I had ever seen. David Tennant and Matt Smith especially were just absolutely brilliant, and Eccleston and Capaldi had several moments of brilliance as well. I think it has fallen a little with Jodie Whittaker, although her second season is considerably better than her first, so I see a lot of potential for her incarnation to improve in the future. EDIT: Nope :(

Eleventh Doctor only

1st season only

David Tennant

Season 1 with Eccleston was immensely low-budget,but set up good concept stories,while Tennant's run was more humor and emotion,with a fantastic anything-can-happen feel to it.Since Moffat took over completely,the show got smarter and wittier,but lost much of its atmosphere and emotion.Only few episodes really stick.I had high hopes with Moffat out of the way again,but Whittaker does an awful job of portraying the Doctor,which is partly because of the absurdly bad material she has to work with.

S1-4 were great. Of course there were some bad episodes but overall it has interesting, diverse stories and great characters. S5 took a new approach and was still fun to watch but from S6 on it went downwards rapidly. More bad episodes than good ones. I kept watching but from S9 on I just didn't care anymore. Still love S1-4. Special effects are outdated but if you look past that, you get fun old school time travel adventures with a bit of romance, weird aliens and a fascinating lead character.

I want to like this, I really do. I just don't. It isn't smart enough to be true science fiction a la Star Trek. The characters aren't good enough to be a drama, like LOST. I'm not saying these two things aren't solid, they are. Once every few episodes had a decent sci-fi concept and every few had an interesting character study. The problem is these are not all the time. Taken as a whole, it just falls through the cracks for me.

Doctor Who is nothing short of perfection. No matter the Doctor, no matter the companion. The legacy of this long running franchise has been in safe hands for years with no sign of slowing down.

This show was my grand obsession up through the 50th anniversary. It continued to keep me ensnared up until Series 10, where it just became too much and I gave up. I've contemplated getting back into it now that the Doctor is female, but since it's no longer on Netflix... I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.

Gave up halfway through S3

blows

good series

The "New" Who has had it's ups and downs, but it remains fairly solid overall.

Flashes of genius but mostly exceedingly mediocre.

no episodes at 2016? Moffat is gone? I can't stay calm..

Season1: Starring Christopher Eccleston/Billie Piper = Best Ever! Season 2-4: Starring David Tennant/Billie Piper/Freema Agyeman/Catherine Tate = A little Discombobulated, but still great! Season 5+: Starring Matt Smith/Karen Gillan + Half-Assed Acting + Horrid CGI = Total Bull Shit!

doctor who contains both the best and worst episodes in the history of tv

Since its revival in 2005, there's been a failure to maintain a consistent level of quality between each season -- some have been really good ... others ... abysmal. While both showrunners Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat have their own admirable qualities that have made the revival series the success it is, they both have brought new problems to the franchise that have yet to be wholly corrected. When the last good season was in 2010, you know you've got a problem.

See Doctor Who 1963.
