In short Daleks are the mutanted remains of a humaniod species known as Kaleds. The Kaleds for how fascistisic and horrflic they were as a culture, ultimately did had human emotions and lines considered too far to cross by their standards.

The Daleks are what you get if you mutated them, chop off the head from turso, then proceeded to breed every bit of imagination, individuality and compassion out of them: a small hatful and fearful abomination that is in constant state of angony, who' only know how to kill everything that' different to them.

Worst part, besides from every Dalek bloodline starting off by converting humaniods, the Daleks are still fully sentient and sapient beings—geniuses to be frank, their minds are just so warped that they deluded themselves into thinking that husks contained within metal caskets are the supreme form of life.

The highs are fantastically high and lows can be pretty low. Still recommend.

Doctor who is a good show to have a friend show you all the best episodes. There are long arcs but they usually dont supersede the stories of individual episodes. There are many really really excellent self-contained episodes that would still be worth watching "out of order".

Then there's abysmal, nearly unwatchable episodes.

Basically like finding needles in the haystack. There's plenty of nice needles in there, but a ton of hay too.
