I just started watching this series at season 5 with the 11th doctor and his companion, Amy Pond. The first two episodes were underwhelming, but likeable. I think this show is a lot like Quantum Leap, but without the compulsion to save the day before moving on to the next episode.

I'll admit that the Amy Pond character is a big reason I enjoy this episode, as she is hot and likeable whereas the Doctor is cold, scientific, and "holier than thou". But I hope there's more to this series that will make it worth watching than just the babelicious eye candy.
