Look, Blink, The empty child, Partners in crime and a bunch others are some of my favorites. But the proper entry point should be The eleventh hour.

I don’t think any other episodes explains The Doctor better than this. Is not the best episode but by the end you get a sense of who The Doctor is.

I often rewatch that one, I prefer the 10th Doctor but that episode is definitely one of the best.

If not that one, then the actual first one of the reboot.

@jesusOmar. I feel like Heaven Sent and Hell Bent, Demon's Run, and Water on Mars was great. HS/HB shows the Doctor's endurance and perseverance, Demon's Run is shows how the Doctor is seen as a force of nature rather than a person, and Water On Mars shows how that perspective of the Doctor influences the Doctor when he's really desperate (other people think of him like a god and treat him as something greater than a person therefore he forgets that he is just a person himself).

Also, that one scene in The Husbands of River Song where she is adamant that the Doctor doesn't love her proves even further that even with the people he is most close with sees him as more than a person. "Loving the Doctor is like lovong the stars themselves, you don't expect a sunset to love you back".

She sees the Doctor like nature's magnificance uncapable of love.
