Rating:  - New Doctor Who Season 1
The old Doctor Who shows were great; the new ones are even better for the new generation of Doctor Who fans.
Rating: - Good Series
Got this for my fiance and I to watch, is a very good up take of the 70's show of the same name the "new" Doctor's are great and Hilarious... I think it is a must own for a sci-fi fan.
Rating: - The best series ever.
The best series ever starts up again with a great season. A must have for sci-fi fans.
Rating:  - The Difference between us and them.
I see I have come late to review this series, so I will not waste your time regurgitating the storyline: please see the numerous 5 star reviews for that. I will give you what they did not: blatant honesty.
WHO has the typical British dry humor, which I do like. Eccleston's portrayal of the Doctor is truly masterful; it is a character you can really fall in love with. Rose on the other hand... she is - from what I've seen - the typical British female movie star; not very pretty and a little on the heavy side. But if you don't need beauty to enjoy a show, then this may be just the series for you. (I'm not bothered by the lack, but my husband constantly whines about it.)
What keeps this from more stars is the special effects. Being use to Battlestar Galactica, Fire Fly and many other scifi US hits, you definitely feel the lack of Hollywood special effects on this series. It reminds me of watching old reruns of 70's SF. Even though the story is good, you can't help but almost laugh when the aliens appear. I hope they invest some of their success in better monster creation.
Worthy of a viewing, but not excellent in any way.
Rating: - Smart, Fun British Sci-Fi
Simply put, this Dr. Who series revamps the decades-old franchise with new characters, new special effects, and new life. It's still Dr. Who however, with all the fun and quirks, and some surprisingly poignant, powerful moments. Fun for the age-old fans and new converts. Great casting, great stories, great fun.
