2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Dr. Who
All of them. I have tried.
I love Dr who, but I don't ever recommend it because it's a very... specific taste...
Tweed. The campy British, passionate and dramatic but goofy and grinning with unabashed British culture. I found no easier way to describe the taste and style than just calling it tweed.
It’s kind of silly.
I watched some. A lot? I don’t regret it, but I came away with the feeling I got dropping Supernatural: I’m not nearly done, yet I watched too much already.
If you watched through peter capaldi's entire run and didn't like it, you're free from ever needing to try it again. Some of those episodes were masterpiece magnum opuses, built, layer by layer, as towering behemoths of interwoven , humanistic cultural lore. You cannot watch them. You just earn them. Much of doctor who is like that, especially as it gets super fucking good. I'm talking probably some of the best television that exists, maybe one in the top three tv things that exist.
And if you couldn't get there, that's okay. People have different tastes, different experiences, different enjoyments.
With doctor who, though, it's really easy to hate if you don't understand it or tolerate the British cheese.
I'm curious what you'd put as your top tv things (shows, eps, stories, whatever), and also why you didn't like doctor who.
I might’ve gotten unlucky and been fed a series of episodes that were intensely related to characters developments.
More than once the Doctor was put in a spot that seemed to require an ingenious solution, and instead he banks on reputation or contacts to asspull himself from Daleks or whoever else it is that time.
Good input. Yes doctor who is very divisive, either you like it or not.
However it's always pronounced doctor. Never Dr. Fight me, lol.
