I would NOT recommend watching Classic Who as an experiment to see if you like the show without Ten. The reboot of the series is completely, totally different, and you shouldn't use the old show (which is brilliant and I do love) to compare with the new in any way. This plan is doomed to fail.

Also End of Time is terrible, but it's worth watching just to get you on to the Eleventh, OP. :p If that's something you want to do. You shouldn't feel any pressure to keep watching.

I think watching Classic Who is a perfectly fine idea? Personally, watching Classic Who after watching New Who and comparing them enhanced my appreciation of both drastically.

And watching Classic Who after only seeing Ten could be a lot easier, since it'll feel more like you're watching a prequel, or watching Ten's backstory. And that, combined with the very different style of writing and filming that screams "totally different era!", might make it easier to accept. Whereas watching Eleven right off the bat might feel more like "but this guy isn't my Doctor and it's different now >:(" which is a lot less easy to watch than "backstory yay!"

But more than Classic Who, I really really recommend watching Nine's season. Not only does it have all the same aesthetics and most of the same characters and themes as Ten's era, it provides a lot of really important character development that enriches Ten's era a lot.

I am thrilled to come across people who do not like End of Time, so HELLO TO YOU ANON!

Echoing that OP shouldn't watch End of Time. It wasn't just that it was bad, it was also just a painfully bad sendoff. Ten was so OOC during the regenerations scene and while I understand what they were going for on an intellectual level, I will never be able to watch it without squirming in discomfort at just how painfully bad, OTT, and OOC it turned out. Plus the whole thing about radiation not being a problem for Time Lords...

Ten's sendoff was so completely and 100% Ten. It wasn't remotely OOC. Over the top maybe, but OOC? Hell no.

Although I don't really like End of Time, I have to agree with you here. Ten was angsty and melodramatic, and...that's exactly what his sendoff was. It fit him rather well from my perspective.
