Doctor Who is one of the longest running sci-fi TV shows in history. It's been around longer than Star Wars or even Star Trek. Why not give it a look now?

1. It's been around for awhile. Surely it has to be good.

The Ninth and Tenth Doctors were such savages.

3. It can be scary as hell.

This show will make you scared to blink, breathe, or even think. You’ll be afraid of angel statues, and forgetting why you entered the room.

4. The actors are fantastic

Yeah, so there’s some “cheesy” moments, but when the powerful moments are needed, every actor on the show brings their all. And it breaks your heart every time, no matter how many times you watch a scene.

5. Actors you'll recognize

Plenty of famous actors have made appearances on Doctor Who. Karen Gillan (Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy), Maisie Williams (Arya from Game of Thrones), and David Tennant (Kilgrave from Jessica Jones and Barty Crouch Jr. from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).

6. There's a lot of creative ideas.

What other shows have dinosaurs on a spaceship with Nefertiti, a big game hunter, and the same actor that plays Arthur Weasley in Harry Potter?

7. It's influential.

There are references all over the place. For example, if you ask Siri “How big are you?” here’s her response. Other shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons, have their own Easter Eggs.

8. The historical episodes are some of the best ones out there.

The Doctor and their companions go to Great Depression New York, Earth billions of years in the future, and pre-WWI England. You’ll even find out exactly why Vesuvius exploded, and it'll break your heart.

9. "Vincent and the Doctor." Every. Single. Time.

Just wait until you get there. It’s going to break you in the best possible way.

10. You'll find tons of people who love it too.

The Whovians are some amazing, creative people, and there’s no other fandom quite like it. What makes it so cool is how long it has lasted over the years, so there are many longtime Doctor Who fans who’ve been in this fandom for a while. It's such a great community, and it's one of the many fandoms that I am proud to be a part of.
