Great characters, mediocre stories

The first two episodes were great. I enjoyed the start of the new series/doctor/team quite a lot. Since then, though, it's been decidedly bland. I used to eagerly wait for each week's new episode, now I find myself putting it off for days. I do like the new characters, but I just wish they'd encounter interesting storylines rather than this utter mediocrity. I'm not going to write off the show just yet; it's practically a new thing now, first seasons are usually rough, it needs to find its feet. I get that. But I'm not going to get my hopes up too high either. So far, it's been a disappointing new start.
