Why would S1E2 of Doctor Who (2005) be the only episode you watched? That seems weird to me.
But, I personally wasn’t the biggest fan of Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor. He did a fantastic job, but David Tennent had so much more energy and flare. Him and Katherine Tate’s Doctor + Companion in Season 4 was comedic genius.
I can’t speak to the last two Doctors they’ve had, but up until then, the series is simply fantastic. And, they go out of their way to pay homage to the original Doctors many times over. Probably even in ways I’ve never noticed because I’ve not watched the original Doctor Who.
I’d strongly recommend powering through. Though I guess you could skip season 1 if you wanted. You’d miss a few references, but IIRC, nothing major. It does get better.

You’re lucky, that was the only non 1976 doctor who episode I watched

Alright, it was a slight exaggeration. I watched episodes 1 of the same series too.
