What TV series are you currently watching?

I noticed the British show Doctor Who getting some buzz and am somewhat curious I picked up a few relatively inexpensive releases, the complete Jodie Whitakker episodes on a DVD set, and the first series of Tom Baker episodes on a bluray disc set.

I've just found it on Tubi TV. This could be quite the rabbit hole....

Doctor Who has a long history and many different actors playing the lead part, some may appeal more than others. I particularly enjoyed the revival from 2005 with Christopher Eccleston but gradually lost interest after that.

Wanted to see if I like it (Murder, She Wrote) as much now as I did even I was a child (only a 5 dollar investment for the entire season):

I watched Eccleston and the Tennant years, but I stopped watching in the Matthew Smith era.  It wasn't actually the actor, the writing just became so over the top I couldn't stand it.  There was no longer an attempt at coherent narrative.  If anything goes without sound internal logic, it is not really compelling.

For classic Who: Tom Baker and Peter Davison are my favorites.

I recommend City of Death from the Tom Baker era.  It is a clever, witty story about Mona Lisa fakes that was co-written by Douglas Adams and has a cameo by John Cleese.

I'm curious to start from the beginning. One day, when I was still a mere slip of a boy, I chanced on Doctor Who, but it didn't grab me that day. Much later, my brother introduced me to some (much later) episodes which were superb.
