Dr. Who - worth watching?

I have always been intrigued by Dr. Who, but never actually watched any of it. Is it worth watching and where does one start in the Whoverse?

Following. I have a free month of Apple TV, made it thru one episode of Ted Lasso, got bored, and need to watch something else before the end of the trial.
I DO need to watch that Beatles doc, haven't done that yet.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

That's pretty much it. Since then I just watch news, football, and (when available) MotoGP racing. I've got a pretty large collection of DVDs/Blurays, but they're mostly music concerts and a few nature/ documentaries.
And the last movie I saw in the theaters* was the original Spider Man flick; intended to see the newer Top Gun and Oppenheimer, but never got around to it. I'm just not into that stuff.
*EDIT: Think I made this mistake before; I did see a Miles Davis biopic in Ogden's Egyptian Theater during the last season the Park City Film Festival did any shows in Ogden (many years ago), starred David Cheathan. Hoped to see some jazz legends in the crowd but I didn't.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

Many years ago I recommended the movie "Raising Arizona" to a good friend. Known each other for many years and we seemed to share a similar sense of humor. I was excited for him to watch it as it was then (and still is) one of my favorite films.
He came into my office on the Monday after watching it over a weekend. He was seriously a tad upset with me - that I "made" him waste a babysitter/dinner/movie night for he and his wife. He HATED that movie. I was rather surprised by his reaction felt bad enough that I bought lunch that day.
Since then I've always been somewhat reluctant to recommend shows - I'll just leave my reviews in the "I/we enjoyed it" category.
That said, we've watched a few seasons of Dr. Who over the last ten or fifteen years via BBC America and found it entertaining (and at times a bit confusing). I would suggest that you read the wiki just to give some info on the story before just jumping into a random season.
P.S. - I enjoyed both Bosch & Bosch Legacy and Ted Lasso

In all seriousness, I agree with your sentiment, unfortunately it seems to fall under "no good deed goes unpunished."

What have you watched so far? “For all mankind” is a must watch IMHO. “Foundation” is probably my all time favourite books series so I was super excited when they announced the TV series. Slow horses was good too.
Dr Who… never got to watching this one, maybe one day.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -
There was a branch off series to Dr. Who though the name escapes me at the moment.

Years later when the movie came out on DVD I bought a copy of it for him as a birthday present which he thought was pretty funny (at least funnier than the movie).
