It seems to me too many viewers (read: old time fans) are approaching the new series expecting to be disappointed, which is one way to protect yourself against what you may not like, but is also a way of preventing yourself enjoying what you might have ordinarily enjoyed. It's happening with Star Wars too. But plenty of people loved The Last Jedi, and plenty of people thoroughly enjoy the new DW, many of them newcomers without all this baggage and near-pathological need to denigrate the new fans.
You can either stay in the past or move with the times. If DW doesn't suit you anymore, move onto something else. A friend of mine hates most music post-1986 and nothing I say will convince him that, for example, 2018 was an excellent year for music (I think it was). Doesn't make him a bad person, he's just stuck with what he liked when he was younger. Although saying that he does enjoy the new DW... Then again, he thinks any SW after RotJ is worthless.
