Been catching-up with these on the BBC player.
Didin't mind the first one too much (the one with the clockwork cyborgs), and so far I liked the Robin Hood one best. As for the others, especially the last one I watched, they just felt like cheap soap operas to me. The last one I watched was so bad I haven't a clue what it's about and never will because I stopped it after 15-20 out of sheer boredom. Again, felt like a cheap Soap Opera and I don't watch "Soaps" or crap like that - Soaps are for women.
Personally I prefered the older ones with Baker, Pertwee etc - way better than this stuff. It's not like the effects do anything for it either. They look nice, detailed and lush a lot of the time, but it's a bit like with Hollywood, they seem to use effects as an excuse to make something rather than the other way around.
Anyway, that's what I think.
