If I wanted to start Dr. Who, how should I approach it?

Is it a ‘watch it from the start and just deal with the missing 90 episodes’ thing?

Or do I start with ‘modern’ Dr. Who or?

It’s a tough one.

Lots of it is totally unnecessary to long-term continuity (which is self-contradictory anyway). Lots of it sucks. Some of it sucks but serves longer plot arcs. Some of the best almost works with no prior knowledge.

So… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d say start somewhere in the modern series, whose modern pacing will feel more familiar — maybe from the beginning, but maybe skipping some duds. Then maybe sample some classics for the contrast (I love “City of Death”).
