I have to admit, I like the new Dr. Who season quite a bit. I’m now going to have to go back and watch the entire Broadchurch series.
I was a PBS Dr. Who junkie back in the ’70’s. Then, when they did the reboot, my kids were just old enough not to be terrified. I really liked all of the new series, except Matt Smith, although he also had some great episodes.
The new season is simpler in several ways, and hasn’t gone back into the Dr. Who mythology (yet).
Highly recommended.
