Should I watch all 20 years of the original run or just begin with the new one which I think is been around for 15 years? What are the best episodes? I’ve seen only a handful of the old and New ones but I liked what Ive seen, just hoping for a guide to really get into it

    Since nobody has mentioned it yet, the newest season is yet another “reboot” of sorts, and they re-explain all of the previous canon (as though the viewer isn’t expected to know it). So if you want to just watch the current season it’s probably as good a place as any and you can always go back to the older stuff whenever you want.

      This is probably also a good time to mention that the Doctor Who “canon” is, uh…flexible? At best?

      Don’t do this. The reboot in the early 2000s is basically my favorite show of all time, and you will potentially miss so many amazing stories. Also from what I’ve seen of the reboot so far, you may or may not enjoy it. It was a big tonal shift to a more Disney like anesthetic and feel, even in the last couple seasons before this current one.
