The Agony Booth, who reviews a lot of films and TV episodes, most of them campy and bad, has gotten round to reviewing Doctor Who's attempted mid 1990s reboot that featured Paul McGann's first and last turn as the Doctor.
I enjoyed it as the time (I was 11 though) and it had a very good rating of 9.08 million viewers, but across the pond Fox Network spitefully and predictably buried it, ultimately sinking the whole project, and it attracted a lot of bad reviews from DW's mad fandom (though McGann's performance and TARDIS interior is still praised).
But while on hindsight it hadn't got the same spark as RTD's better received relaunch and is perhaps comparable to the ultra slick yet flat 2009 remake of The Prisoner, it is still a good "What If?" alongside McCoy's 27th season. Even if McGann's first supposed season was a creative misfire, the late 1990s Doctor Who could've improved dramatically like Torchwood and The Next Generation did (I mean "Encounter at Farpoint" was rather stilted and weak as well).
