Sheen and Tennant are great, but in general this can be characterised best as irritating.
In general, it's just so meandering and fumbles a lot of scenes by going on too long, and it's really unclear about story rules and character motivations. But it's full of little things like:
The narration has a H2G2 feel to it, but where that show stopped the story for little asides, this one crams the narration in at the edges and also uses it to tell us stuff they're showing us anyway.
Those setting cards really bug me - why are they like that? Little signs that flap up with condensation on the camera?
All the stunt casting is incredibly distracting, and a lot of the general casting is just wrong. It all feels very 'school play'.
There are near-constant cheap jokes revolving around a character saying "oh God" or "I'll be damned" or (in bad weather) "it's hell out there".
IRRITATING.
