Series 11
If you ask me Season 11 is the worst thing that we've gotten out of the revived series. Out of this entire series there's one episode that I don't think is all that bad which is Kablam!. Apart from that episode there's really nothing especially good about this series, it also lacks an over arching story, there are returning characters but there's not really one story that spans through out most of the series which I think is something important because in my opinion you need something like this to make a good finale.
Series 7
I actually rather enjoyed Series 7 when it first aired but after a re-watch I can say for certain that it's my least favorite series with the 11th Doctor, splitting the series up was a really bad move on Moffat's part, it made the series really hard to get into and in all honesty it took away what could have been a great relationship between Clara and The Doctor in the latter half of the series. There are however some fairly decent episodes in this Series, take The Rings of Akhaten for example, if you ask me that's a great episode and features one of the great Doctor speeches.
Series 12
Series 12 was much more enjoyable than I was expecting, I didn't really have faith in this series because of how terrible Series 11 was but I have to say there are some stand out episodes in this Series like Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror and the Spyfall two parter. However I feel like Chris Chibnall made a huge mistake with The Timeless Child arc, it completely split the fanbase which is something that you really don't want. I personally really don't like The Timeless Child arc, I think it ruins the continuity and takes something away from the charcter of The Doctor by essentially making them some sort of time lord deity.
Series 6
I'm honestly not that big of a fan of the Impossible Astronaut story arc, honestly it feels like Moffat was making everything way too convoluted and it really didn't make for an interesting watch in my opinion. However I did really enjoy the episodes that weren't directly attached to The Impossible Astronaut arc, episodes like The Doctor's Wife and The Rebel Flesh were real standouts in my opinion, I'd even go as far to say that The Doctor's Wife is the best episode in Series 6.
Series 9
My main issue with Series 9 is Clara, honestly I think she overstayed her welcome, if her arc had ended at the end of Series 8 she would have been one of the best companions of the Moffat era but unfortunately Moffat decided to keep her for some reason. It would have made so much more sense for 12 to get a new companion for the start of Series 9 instead of getting a new companion for Series 10, this would have allowed for way better character development for this hypothetical new companion instead of said companion just getting 1 series worth of character development. I did however really enjoy the first 2 episodes, it's one of the best modern stories for Davros and I really feel like we should be seeing more of him. Under the lake and Before the flood is also a really good two parter, I feel like a lot of people sh*t on this series but apart from the continuation of the Clara arc it's really not that bad.
Series 3
Series 3 is without a doubt my least favorite out of the 10th Doctor's era, I really do enjoy Martha as a companion, in fact I think she's one of the most underrated Doctor Who companions of the revived era but I really don't think this Series holds up with the rest of the 10th Doctor's era. The finale is really great, I feel like it's the second best finale in 10th Doctor's era, it's iconic and it makes for a really great watch. However I feel like most of the episodes in this series are rather forgettable and when people talk about 10's era they don't really mention Series 3 that much.
Series 2
I do enjoy Series 2, I think it has some really great episodes like the Cyberman two parter and The Girl in the fireplace, not to mention the fantastic finale which I personally consider to be the best finale in the 10th Doctor era. I also really enjoy the chemistry between Rose and the Doctor, I'm glad that Rose didn't overstay her welcome like Clara, if you ask me she spent just the right amount of time on the show. However there are a handful of pretty bad episodes like Fear her and Love and monsters, these episodes really aren't the best but I don't let them taint my enjoyment of this series.
Series 8
Series 8 is the debut series for Peter Capaldi and honestly I think he's great in this series, he's actually my favorite out of the Nu-Who Doctors. There are the odd bad episodes in this series like Kill the Moon but there are also some really great episodes in this Series like Into the Dalek, Flatline and the finale. After I saw this series for the first time I was excited to see what the 12th Doctor would deliver next and for the most part I wasn't disappointed, overall this is a great debut series for the 12th Doctor.
Series 5
Series 5 is without a doubt the 11th Doctor's best series, it's absolutely filled with some amazing episodes and a phenomenal finale. Of course some episodes are better than other but in all honesty there's only one episode in this series which I would out right call terrible and that episode is Victory of the Daleks, I really don't like what they did with The Daleks in this episode and I honestly hate the New Dalek Paradigm design. Apart from that the episodes in this series are rather solid, some are better than others but for the most part they're pretty good. I really feel like 11 solidified himself as The Doctor in this series and that's honestly a really great thing.
Series 4
Series 4 is without a doubt the best 10th Doctor series, this series is filled with amazing episodes and an amazing finale. I really enjoy the chemistry between The Doctor and Donna, she brings a real comedic side to the series which I felt like was a breath of fresh air coming off of the more serious tone of Series 3. However this series can be serious when it wants to be and believe me it does get rather serious especially when coming up to the end of the series.
Series 1
I get the feeling that a lot of people are going to disagree with me here but i'm going to go out and say that series 1 is the best series out of the RTD era and it's completely overlook by quite a lot of Doctor Who fans . The 9th Doctor is without a doubt my favorite Doctor from the RTD era and it's a shame that he didn't get another series because I feel like he really deserved it. However his character arc was closed up very nicely and his regeneration scene still makes me tear up to this day.
Series 10
Series 10 is without a doubt my favorite Nu-Who series, there's only one episode in this entire series that I don't like that much and that episode is Smile, apart from that I consider every single episode of this series to be flawless and I also consider the finale of this Series, World Enough and Time and The Doctor falls to be the best finale that Nu-Who has ever seen and I honestly don't expect that anyone is going to make a better finale for Doctor Who anytime soon.
