the first episode had that whole new regeneration impact, so I feel like there is a lot more of her personality to emerge, but so far she is a great Doctor imho.

great continuity. After all the hype, it's good to see she lives up to it.

But, I'm waiting to see how they bring back the tardis and explain how three humans can exist in space. (Too bad there weren't four)

Created by Alisa Stern. She creates all the puppets for the Instagram show she puts on.
Very well done
Should check it out

and I can't. I tried to watch the newest and first female doctor and after 15 minutes I was done.
But I still try.

but I'm not sure I'd call it sci-fi because it doesn't really have any science in it. Not that much fantasy, either.

I got hooked years ago when Tom Baker was The Doctor, and since then there were three or that kept me watching. And the companions were occasionally interesting, too. And some weren't.

until Matt Smith. I caught one of his shows and was interested, he was so odd and quirky and I liked the story with Amy. Since then I have also loved David Tennant. I did not watch Peter Capaldi as much although I did like him since I was pretty hooked by that time. Older than that I have not had the time or desire to go check out yet. Someday you will catch a show that makes you interested then all the others seem to fall into place.
