Hey, I’m a huge Star Trek fan and have seen all of that stuff endlessly.

I love the Star Trek community, and it seems Doctor who has a similar thing.

So, I want to check out this show. Can someone recommend a good place to start?

Can I just pick a series based on the actor? I was considering the series with Matt Smith. Just because I saw a few clips with him.

The reboot has a sort of coherence which makes it better to watch in order, but I don't think it's a big deal.

I would just say that Doctor Who is much more on the psychological thriller/horror side of science fiction than Star Trek.

I mean, it obviously depends on which star trek you like since the recent ones have been much much more into the horror/action/gore side than the older ones, if you liked the torture rape scenes of Discovery and the Alien plagiarism of SNW then Doctor Who might even seem mild in comparison, so I guess it depends on what you see Star Trek as.

My favorite trek are the ones from the 90s. I basically watch them on repeat. I decided to start with the first season of the reboot and have liked it so far. I've only watched 2.5 episodes so far.
