I have only gotten seriously “into” “"new”“ media three times in my life. In reverse order:

Tron (1982) in 2023

Doctor Who (tenth doctor, 2005) in 2012-ish

Star Trek TOS (1966) in 1994


…I’m assuming that the Doctor’s status as a time traveler is the reason he somehow managed to be the outlier, in being a matter of years instead of multiple decades.
