Answer :

answer:I got into it from reading reviews that were positive. I assumed it was going to be campy and like I remembered from when I was a little kid. The reviews I read were very positive, saying people should watch the show not expecting it to be sci-fi. It encouraged the viewers to watch the show with the following perspectives: 1)A fairy tale for each human companion 2)A tragedy for the Doctor himself, who is cripplingly alone When I started watching thinking about it like that, I was immediately hooked.
