Its pretty much an unspoken agreement online that you have to love Dr Who and/or Torchwood, but... its just never drawn me in. It always seemed like it was quirky for the sake of quirky. Like television for hipsters.

IMO the "television for hipsters" sums up the New Series perfectly (...the whole thing oozes a "Ho ho, we're not taking any of this seriously, why should you?" attitude, like the writers think they're Douglas Adams - well he did write the worst Dr. Who stories in the original series).
As for the original show, its fans like to pretend it was some sort of ground-breaking genre mash-up, but the reality is that was your average low-budget sci-fi adventure show. No more, no less.
The only thing unique about Dr. Who is just how sodding long it ran for.
