Wait wasn’t the female doctor they just replaced off the charts woke too?
I don’t think it’s a matter of going woke, my understanding is they are just turning it up to 11 now.

The Female Doctors storylines were so woke they became unwatchable.
They only hope I have is Russel T. Davies, is back in charge. He was the showrunner during the Tennent Years and I hope the storylines return to the style that was so successful.

I have never seen any of Dr. Who. Do I need to watch from beginning? Can you just pick up with this season without being lost?

Please do not do that. Youd start in the worst part

I would start with the reboot starting in 2005 with Chris Eccleston as the Doctor. The show went off the air in the late 1980's and restarted in 2005.

I agree with this. Eccleston's Doctor was a very different Doctor than what had come before. He was more of a bitter, brooding loner due to what he went through in the Last Great Time War. He still had his optimism and desire to protect the innocent, but it had to first dig through his form of survivor's guilt in order to be expressed. Over the course of the Eccleston run you see him lose some of that edge as his innate sense of wonder and optimism claws its way back.
Tennant's Doctor was much more of an adventuresome rogue. He had dealt with much of his guilt, but some of it could still surface from time to time (but it never brought him down as much as it did Eccleston's Doctor). He was a charismatic and witty extrovert with an agreeable demeanor but could be capable of great fury and vengeance when provoked.

It got really bad. I'm going to force myself to watch the most recent season just so I know what's going on before David Tennant comes back, but the show has become truly awful during the female Doctor's tenure. Everything is about woke crap that an alien wouldn't give any thought to, ever. They even had a Trump stand-in at one point. On a show based in the UK. It makes no sense.

I don’t care about woke or not but Jodie Whittakers doctor was unwatchable for me. Her array of companions was awful.
Looking forward to seeing RTD at the helm again.

The first show of the reboot is terrible. I’m so glad I stuck with it but it took me til Father’s Day to truly get drawn in.

There are 12 Doctors.
12.
That is all.

There are a couple of entry points for the series.
You can start with Eccleston and work forward. That might be the best route, because David Tennant comes in at the end of the first season. Plus, the guy who ran the first four seasons of the show is back in charge, so that will give you a flavor of what to expect going forward. Or you can jump to Matt Smith’s run as the Doctor, which started in the fifth season. That’s a good entry point too.
I’m a longtime fan - I’m more into Doctor Who than Star Wars or Star Trek.
The last couple of seasons have been rough. Poor writing and the show started to look cheap, like it did in the late 80s. I’m excited going forward- it looks like there’s better care being taken of the franchise and the Disney $$$ will help

my favorite.
I also really liked Matt Smith.

Tenant and Matt Smith runs were fantastic. Show should have ended with Matt Smith’s run tbh

It’s nearly impossible to watch from the very beginning in the 60s. But generally speaking, there tends to be an overarching theme for each season, and different personality for each actor’s portrayal. There are historical call-backs and recurring characters from the older series, but there’s no way to catch up on all of it.
PlutoTV app sometimes has a Doctor Who channel that’s the best/cheapest way I know to watch “classic” Who.
As others said, the new show started with Eccleston, and it’s a pretty good run up through the end of Matt Smith’s tenure.
Jodi Whitaker’s version was pretty slow-paced and boring, with too many supporting characters and side stories. Even without the wokeness - which is fairly mild compared to a lot of Hollywood product - it just wasn’t a very entertaining or enjoyable version of the show.
ETA: sorry for writing an essay; the posts don’t look as long-winded when I’m typing in the mobile text box.

I haven’t watched Dr Who since Tom Baker was the doctor and it was late night on some random UHF channel. I did like the quirkyness of it though.
What would you recommend as a season to watch from front to back?

Tom Baker was my doctor as a kid in the 80s watching it on PBS. If you can find the first season with Chris Eccleston, that’s the place to start. It took me a while to get used to, but you eventually get into it.

Since the Doctors companion, Rose Tyler, Mickey and the fantastic Captain Jack Harness carried over from the 2005 Chris Eccleston to the David Tennent era I think both should be watched. Eccleston was the Doctor for only one season which is why I recommend this.
When Tennent left, Matt Smith brought a vert different, but great Doctor as well.
Speaking of companions. Tennent had three very good but deferent companions in Rose, Martha and Donna Noble (who is in the new trailer.
