Been a Doctor Who fan forever but stopped watching a few episodes in with this doctor. Anyone see any hope?

Don't put your faith in Davies. He may be a better writer than Chinballs, but he's still woke.

He ran the only good seasons of nu-Who. Once Moffat got the reins the decline began. Cautiously optimistic is probably the best stance to take, though nu-Who may already be irreparably ruined

Even retconning Timeless Children wouldn't be enough to get me back at this point. Also, I really don't think Davies will do that: he believes in the message. I was never as big a fan of his Who as I was of the older series. Making the Doctor a young, hot twentysomething instead of the more mature, complex man that he always was before rubbed me the wrong way from the very start. It was done for no reason other than to attract a shallower female audience at the expense of the old fans.

He ran the only good seasons of nu-Who

Certainly true but he still had very poor writing at times when the end of season finale would be nothing but a Deus ex machina solving things. He also still has a long history of other woke sperging including Torchwood for a more relevant example where the first season was essentially "Doctor Who but everyone fucks everyone else and we can now say the 'fuck' word".

In October 2005, BBC Three Controller Stuart Murphy invited Davies to create a post-watershed Doctor Who spin-off in the wake of the parent series' popularity. Torchwood—named after an anagrammatic title ruse used to prevent leaks of Doctor Who's first series—incorporated elements from an abandoned Davies project titled Excalibur and featured the pansexual 51st century time-traveler Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and a team of alien hunters in Cardiff.

Literally every cast member fucks each other at some point and none of them have any redeeming qualities.

See subsequent post regarding Gwen because it caused me to rant about how much I detest the character, who to this is the reason I can't stand hearing the actress who played her including her role in DA2 and whatever else.

The show began production in April 2006 and was marketed through foreshadowing in the main story arc of Doctor Who's second series, which portrayed Torchwood as a covert quasi-governmental organization that monitors, exploits, and suppresses the existence of extraterrestrial life and technology. Upon its transmission, Torchwood was one of BBC Three's most popular shows; however, it received criticism for "adolescent" use of sexual and violent themes. This led the production team to alter the format to be subtler in its portrayal of adult themes.

There was also the more woke series years before that 'Queer as Folk' which he made for the following reason:

Although well received, the series' [The Grand] ratings were not high enough to warrant a third series. After its cancellation in September 1997, Davies had an existential crisis after almost dying from an accidental overdose; the experience persuaded him to detoxify and make a name for himself by producing a series which celebrated his homosexuality.

After his near-death experience, Davies started to develop a series for Channel 4 which reflected the "hedonistic lifestyle" of the gay quarter of Manchester he was leaving behind. Encouraged by ex-Granada executives Catriona MacKenzie and Gub Neil to "go gay", the series focused on a group of friends in Manchester's gay scene, tentatively titled The Other End of the Ballroom, and later, Queer as Fuck. By February 1998, when he completed the first draft for the series première, the series was known under its eventual title Queer as Folk.[38] The series emulates dramas such as Band of Gold in presenting realistic discussion on sexuality, as opposed to "one-sided" gay characters in soap operas such as EastEnders, and eschews "heavy-handed discussion" of issues such as HIV; the show instead focuses on the party scene on Canal Street.

I am willing to give it a chance once he is in charge. I couldn’t believe when I heard how they butchered the lore
