Started watching Dr. Who Season 11.

Currently watching Ep4. OMG! Whole new Dr. Who! I'd give it about a 12 out of 10. Fabulous, topical, and Jodi Whittaker as the new Doctor (at least IMHO) is the best Doctor since Tom Baker.

If you subscribe to BBC America, you can get it for free (with ADDs) or you can buy it on a variety of places including Amazon, Vudu, and the like. (Or you can wait a year and get it for free on other places.)

is a worthy successor, perhaps the worthiest. I see in her a lot of David Tennant, and a bit of Matt Smith-- she studied past Doctors well, which is as it should be. The Doctor is still the Doctor, even though in a new body.

One small complaint-- I haven't watched the season final yet, but so far I miss the Dalecks and other concerns of the future; they are spending far too much time in the recent past.

So far this season, no Daleks or Cybermen or other traditional bad guys.
