Oh I think you just nailed what the show's been lacking. I always thought it was missing characterization (other than Rory who I think has been a bit more developed) but yeah, Amy seems to be missing something. Every once in a while I see a glimpse of something more but yeah, I just don't relate to her.
Also CE and DT are super charismatic and let's face it, their characters were costumed to accentuate that they are basically a couple of hotties. I think a choice was made to purposely not costume MS that way. Although, I think when they let him "be the Doctor" he can be very charismatic. Until recently, I don't think they gave him many opportunties to really dig into the role and show the audience what he can do.
I 100% agree with you Doctor who, no matter the Doctor, is usually better than most science fiction on television, especially US scifi type shows. Of course, I fell in love with DW as a child so I might be a tad prejudiced. I loved Four and Romana - I was seriuosly heart broken when Four regenerated into Five.
