News & Interviews for Doctor Who: Season 1
Critic Reviews for Doctor Who: Season 1
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (2)
Eccleston is such an electrifying actor that he conveys the doctor's alien status (he is 900 years old with two hearts) by the means of wide-eyed, slightly unhinged over-enthusiasm.
Fast, funny, scary and beautifully acted, it manages to be vibrant and fresh to appeal to a new audience while remaining utterly faithful to the spirit of the old show.
To my novice's eye, it's pretty decent hokum-fast, corny, genial, honest in its schlock.
The genius of the character development is that Rose does not become more powerful, or blessed with some macguffin of plot relevance.
Thundered back onto the BBC in a manner that honored the series' canon while also injecting new energy and reestablishing a show previously aimed primarily at children as one sophisticated enough that adult geeks could love it unabashedly. [Blu-ray]
If the program was inquisitive science fiction in 1963 and an alien invasion thriller in 1970, then in 2005 it must be considered a character drama.
Audience Reviews for Doctor Who: Season 1
A misstep here and some deus ex machina there can't slow this series down. Not a reboot, but a continuation of the series starting in 1963, although designed so you can jump right in here without having seen a previous episode. Well done!

A couple of missteps on the takeoff don't stop this from being one of the most important seasons of Doctor Who's 50+ year history, featuring my personal favourite Doctor yet.
