I suggest you keep watching. Maybe this is the fanboy in me speaking, but the season finale of that season was quite enjoyable and I think that the Silence are an extremely interesting villain (albeit criminally underutilized). Also, if you get through it, you get a new companion and push on a little further and you get a new doctor (the tone of the new doctor changes the series dramatically imo). While the show did change a lot and I don't think it is as good as 9/10, I certainly think that its still worth watching ^.^ |
I do feel like I'll probably give it a try again some day, but I begun to lose interest as soon as Moffat became showrunner really. His teasing at the end of S5 - providing a mystery that wasn't going to be solved any time soon - actually turned me off the show more than made me want to continue watching.
Then during S6, the mid-season finale (A Good Man goes to war) was hyped up at this incredible battle that was in fact a damp squib. And then the show returned a few months later with a stupid gimmick episode (Let's kill Hitler) that was supposed to tie up a really important storyline (River Song).
After that I've only watched periodically - Angels Take Manhatten; that episode with John Hurt in etc.
Haven't watched any of Peter Capaldi's episodes yet. I'm sure they're fine, I just don't have the same drive to watch during the Russell T Davies years. He may have been a bit of a hack writer, but at least he could create a big mystery and then tie it all up within the season to keep me interested.
