My understanding is the new showrunner and Doctor get new equipment and tech (ie cameras, lighting), just like we saw in the switch from series 4 to 5. The episodes are all longer, but there are fewer episodes per series.
A lot of people said it didn't feel like Who, but if you throw in Murray Gold's music and use Moffatt-era cinematography, I think it would fit in.
Like you, I liked this Doctor right from the start, and I thought this compared well to 11th Hour. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the rest of the series.
