Yeah. I found Clara interesting, but never quite warmed to her (even though I liked Jenna Coleman). With Twelve…I just found him cruel in his first season - and the show criticized him for that behavior, so it didn't make me angry the way it did when Ten would behave terribly to people and we were invited to think it was cute or funny, but it meant that I didn't feel quite safe with him. I wonder whether I'd feel the same way if I went back and watched those episodes again, though.
I'm still feeling pretty wait-and-see about Chris Chibnall as showrunner: I wasn't particularly blown away by any of his Who episodes (I have a soft spot for "The Power of Three," but that is because I love the Pond family immensely and forever), and I couldn't even make it through Torchwood. But I enjoyed Broadchurch - and casting Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor at least suggests that Chibnall wants to keep pushing forward on making the show more inclusive, which is very good!
