I'm a huge sci fi fan, I love Star Wars, Trek, Gate, just about any sci fi movie, etc. I have never been able to get into Dr Who but the rabid fan base makes me feel like I'm missing out. Not sure what it is about the show but I just don't get it, I guess.

To be fair the first season when it returned with rose is just alright and I almost dropped it as well. The next doctor Tenant really did the role justice and peaked the show for many of us.

So if I started with the Tenant seasons would I even know what's going on?

You might get lost a bit with some story threads. If you really have no intention on watching the previous doctor I would watch a season recap video online. That way you're familiar with the important bits of lore and story lines and whose who but it shouldn't be too bad. They don't really delve too much into all the old doctors lores and stories, and when they do they refresh your memory, so at most it's one season of stuff before tenants.

Appreciate the tip, I think I'll give it another go at some point!
