Is it worth starting?
This is 26 seasons deep — English drama with action & adventure threaded through, not one for younger kids. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.

Story
The adventures of The Doctor, a time-traveling humanoid alien known as a Time Lord. He explores the universe in his TARDIS, a sentient time-traveling spaceship. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Along with a succession of companions, The Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to save civilizations, help ordinary people, and right many wrongs.
