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).

Hmmm...I don't recall what the "mystery that wasn't going to be solved any time soon" was.
As for the mid season finale, yeah, it was really limp and certainly a disappointment. However, the River Song tie up is part of the season finale and I think those loose ends were tied up rather nicely.
