... But I'm not sure I actually enjoy watching the show all that much. The science fiction aesthetic annoys me, the sense of humor annoys me, and the overall tone usually annoys me.
The idea has such great potential as a serious drama, focusing on The Doctor's psyche, and the way his influence profoundly screws people up in a way that is gradually dawning on him.
Instead, it becomes a lighthearted adventure jokefest with occasional drama. I have nothing against the inclusion of humor but I feel it would work much better as a dark drama with occasional humor.
