Doctor Who (2005 - 2011): Review By Huntsman

Let me first say up until 2007 I had never watched Dr. Who, though I had heard of the long running series. So I did really pay attention to the new series. Until one day on one of my days off from work the Sci-Fi channel was showing their daily marathon of shows, and the show happened to be the new series of Dr. Who. I had nothing else going on at the time and decided to watch. I haven't stopped watching yet.

The series is a breath of fresh air compared to a American television. I had seen nothing else like it here in the USA. It was truly original at least for me. The story telling was wonderful. The acting was great you could just tell the actors enjoyed what they were doing. The special effects were really good for a television Sci-fi series, and the music is just wonderful. Sure seasons only last 13 episodes, but those 13 episodes are better the entire seasons of any USA show.

The series has produced some of my favorite episodes(Father's Day, Bad Wolf, The Parting of the Ways, The Girl in the Fireplace, The Impossible Planet, The Satan Pit, Army of Ghosts, Doomsday, I could go on, and there are many more. The series also have some of my favorite characters. Dr. Who(my favorite is David Tennant), Rose Tyler(who I think is by far the best companion), and Captain Jack Harkness who I just love.

This is by far my favorite television series. So if you are looking for something new and different from the same old USA television check out Dr. Who, you won't be disappointed.
