Series 1-4 were so damn comfy. Even the bad episodes were somewhat redeemable.
Where did it all go wrong?

The original showrunner Russel T Davis was a worse writer but better businessman. When it came to running whole operation, he managed to get the right actors, writers and directors who put out the right ideas and did the best they can be with budget they got.
Steven Moffat is a better writer, but fucking shit businessman. Half of things he did with the series can be attributed to success of Russel T Davis's tenure and simply the fact that they finally had money, sometimes to the point where stories were simply overblown.
The new one is just shit.

Season 4 was the part where a lot of the success was being attributed to Tennant, and was being exported across the world.
I think they wanted to hit the reset button in order to not have to rely on pandering, but ended up doing so anyway in different ways, and the production and writing staff weren't up to par.

when they let the gay welsh contingent take over the show and it devolved into a series of comfy fairy tales. not a single one of them could define the difference between fantasy and SF.

I'd watch a full season of those fart aliens from season 1 before I ever watch a 13th Doctor episode again

That is not even Dr Who.
The entire reboot was made for amerimutt shit from day one.

It was literally just because of fucking Steven Moffat, and his awful writing skills. I think part of it is how he tried to make everything so epic and important, with these huge, complex series-long story arcs, whereas RTD would have single (or double) episode arcs, with maybe a series-long one hiddden throughout the series, that only pays off in the final one or two episodes.
Basically Moffat didn't know what made the show so comfy, and tried to make it into something 'epic' and complex, when that was never why people liked the RTD shows.

Moffats writing made me feel like I had missed episodes. So many characters introduced as if they had been around for years
