The series numbering split seems needlessly confusing
So you have
- Classic series.
- 2005+ series, but that makes sense because there was a long gap between
- Then you have the specials that don't quite work numerically if it resets to 1
- But then you have the 15th Doctor era, which is immediately after the 2005 series
I get it's because Disney wanted to not have the series show as 14 because they don't have access to previous, but the result is that anyone new to the show has a confusing number of Doctor Who separate listings. Doctor Who is unusually long running but I can't think of any other series that just resets partway through numerically like this. For any British viewer, it looks like there was no Doctor Who prior to S14 aka "Series 1".
