  "Doctor Who is one of the longest-running series in TV history, with close to 900 episodes to date. Luckily, the new series brings in a new doctor, a new vibe, and a new level of special effects, giving the show more of a Marvel superhero feel. The new season is also loaded with famous guest stars like Jonathan Groff and Jinkx Monsoon. If you want a fun adventure with great characters, you need to watch the new iteration of Doctor Who – especially if you’re someone who’s never watched the series before."

• Perfect for new and long-time fans of the franchise

  "Doctor Who season 1 will appeal to long-time fans and franchise newcomers. The series feels new and fresh with Ncuti Gatwa's flamboyant and whimsical take on the Doctor alongside his intriguing companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson). Instead of relying too heavily on lore, each episode's sci-fi adventures stand well on their own. At the same time, long-time fans will notice Russell T. Davies return as showrunner, giving the episodes his signature absurdity and humor. It's the same Doctor Who fans know and love, but it's also clearly entering a refreshing new era well-suited for newcomers."
