I'm an "old school" Whovian, from back when the acting was cheesy and the monsters were made out of foam rubber and bubble wrap LOL. The new show is "ohh, shiny!" but I have to admit that I while I love Nine, I'm ambivalent to most often annoyed by Ten. I quit watching halfway through Tennant's second season and haven't seen any of this last one, even though according to my husband it's the best one yet. I just...Tennant irks me. I'll be happy when he regenerates, is all I'm saying.

But yeah, it's a character-driven show more than a plot-driven show, so you have to give yourself some time to grow fond of them. I loved Nine, didn't like Ten. I liked Rose with Nine, she annoyed the shit of of me with Ten. Martha I like when she's not mooning over the Doctor. Jack is wonderful (much better than he is in Torchwood) but he's in and out.

But anyway. :P
