Is it worth starting?
This is 10 seasons deep — English sci-fi & fantasy with action & adventure threaded through, not one for younger kids. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.
- Why
- Currently 8.2/10 from 4,604 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
