...So the joke is you two aren't actually enjoying it right? Because otherwise I'm going to be pleasantly surprised. Also just think if Davros continued his Dalek schemes with Clam based weaponry

Yep. The special effects, especially when viewed through a 40 year lens are not great, and the way TV is paced has changed a lot since then as well so it could take some adjusting to.

In my opinion it's incredibly overrated and drags on for far too long, like much of the classic series. The Davros bits are generally good though, unlike almost anything else Davros has ever been in..

What I often suggest to people is to treat it like watching a play rather than a television show. You have to make some allowances based on what was possible given the conditions the thing was made under if you want to have any chance of enjoying it.

It's more like watching a play from a company who are occasionally brilliant but mostly just a bit poo poo.

The pacing issues have a lot to do with changes in how TV shows work, both in terms of writing and direction and in terms of the technology. Don't bother with the classic series if you want your shows to cut straight to the money shots.

"Being slow paced" is not an issue. Regy Rusty posted:Having watched Part 1 now let me just confirm - this is "good" right? People like this? It's not "good", it's good.

If you judge Genesis by modern standards for quality then no, it's not very good. But that's an absurd way to look at it unless you're doing it for the sake of comedy. It was made 40+ years ago and reflects that in everything it is. Compared to its contemporaries, it looks 'Fine'. All sci fi shows of the era were given ridiculously small budgets with next to no exceptions. Star Trek ended nearly a decade earlier, BSG had yet to start, and over in Japan the Tokusatsu genre was floundering due to economic upheavals and the oil crisis. For the time it was made, Who looked, Fine. For this time period at least. See a trick with Who is that it was started in the 60s on an absurdly small budget, as it was effectively a PBS kids show and as the decades dragged on, that budget? Never really got better. So while the show started off looking incredibly cheap and went overbudget by a lot to get even the barest of quality done, they eventually found their footing and stabilized by the late 60s. The Late 60s through the mid to late 70s is when Who looked its best, quality wise, because they knew what they were doing, usually, and the cost of making a show had not yet skyrocketed past what they could cope with. There are of course stinkers there where they attempted things that they could not possibly pull off, like Robot or Invasion of the Dinosaurs, but on the whole this was the best time for Who looking Of Quality. Then the 80s happened and Who's quality took a sharp nosedive. Later Classic Who unarguably looks cheaper and worse than older Classic Who, and this is why. The cost of making a show went through the roof, while that budget of theirs staid rock bottom. Who never really recovered from that either. Modern Who started over a decade ago, but time hasn't been unfair to its effects- look at its contemporaries, New Who looked like garbage from day one. We hit a stabilization period in Season 5, but then the same problem of trying to do anything outside of their reach results in utter garbage. So yeah. Old Who was never great looking, but almost nothing was on TV back then. Or, largely, in movies either. Looking at you Gamera franchise. The biggest hurdle with enjoying Old Who is just being able to accept that. I grew up watching movies and TV from drat near every era so I am very well versed in why Bride of Frankenstein, 1935, is one of the best movies ever made while House of Frankenstein, 1944, is an awful, awful piece of garbage.

Do they hold a lot of plays in quarries?  That was a quality use of a quarry. You don't get quarries like that in Who these days.
