I’ll skim through it because a lot of people say it’s crap.

Well you have to take the rough with the smooth, not everything can be a gem

I’m sure it can’t be worse than the stuff I watch.

Its not my favourite

Just watch the ones which are regarded as classics

I found a list that regarded these episodes as the essentials:

•Genesis of the Daleks

•Pyramids of Mars

•The Deadly Assassin

•The Talons of Weng-Chiang

•The Sun Makers

•The Invasion of Time

•The Key to Time (all of season 16)

•City of Death

Sound about right, although I am not sure about The Invasion of Time, I've heard that is not considered good, and season 16 is good but I never knew it was considered the best of the best.

City of Death, Sun Makers and Deadly Assassin I've not even seen

Just go of my list and not a reddit list:

> 90 % of the pertwee stories (peak quality)

> Caves of Androzani

> Vengeance on Varos

> Earthshock

> Frontios

> The Visitation

> Genesis of the Daleks (apparently, not actually seen it)

Is starting with episode 1 to much of a crazy idea?

It’s the debut of Tom Baker. Or are you saying I need to start from the very beginning?

I'd say Pertwee (season 7) is best to start with

 

[THE TRUE DIGLET]

I'd say Pertwee (season 7) is best to start with

Also because he fights neo cortex

What else am I gonna do. Pokemon?

Gotta catch 'em all

what about worst?

Timelash is up there for one of the absolute worst stories of the classic series. Terrible dialogue, and the plot made no sense.

What do you think about McCoy?

Its my first time watching him, although I did see remembrance of the daleks as a kid.

I am up to dragonfire so far and I think season 24 isnt ass like people say. I like the surreal and almost parodical feeling its got, and paradise towers has all the marks of a cult classic

Season 24 has got a certain charm if you embrace it’s absurdness. As for McCoy, I was not the biggest fan of him until seasons 25 and 26 where he finds his footing and grows into a doctor with more nuance.

I watched half of part 1 and skipped to the next arc with the green aliens.

I’ll be honest, I’m liking it more than I expected. The effects and costumes are cheesy. But Baker’s acting and dialogue keep me invested whenever he’s on screen. I’m actually impressed because I tend to hate sci-fi.

The ark in space?

Loads of people like that one a lot but I think its ok.
