I want to get into Doctor Who, but it seems daunting and massive, any suggestions where to start? (startrek.website)

Should I watch all 20 years of the original run or just begin with the new one which I think is been around for 15 years? What are the best episodes? I've seen only a handful of the old and New ones but I liked what Ive seen, just hoping for a guide to really get into it

Start with the modern reboot. First episode is a little dry, but later episodes rely heavily on sneaky references to events prior. Especially the specials. Don't be afraid to rewatch episodes as well. The dialogue can move quickly and I've always picked up on details I missed during the first playthrough. Definitely worth it.
