 Odyssey August 20, 2008
I just have to say I love the Torchwood series. Captain Jack and Gwen Cooper are the two that catch my interest. The show has me asking are they going to do it or aren't they lol. But I have 1 questions is the Uk version of the Show Dvd Different than the US version?

Like other Dr. Who fans I had high hopes for Torchwood, and it is fertile ground for a sci-fi series. However, the first series rarely delivers during its run of thirteen episodes. Other than the main character of Captain Jack, any other of the actors could have easily been replaced with a chunk of wood and the show would have been much improved.
The real fault for this painful to watch show lies with the production team, who didn't seem to make any right choices when developing this series. I found particular fault with their decision to make the Torchwood team a bunch bickering, self-obsessed, petty individuals who couldn't work together or stay focused on the investigation at hand in any of the episodes. In most of the story lines Torchwood are their own worst enemy more than any of the external threats they are trying to deal with. Torchwood watches more like a daytime soap with creatures than a sci-fi show, and a poorly written soap at that.

Steer away from this really third class spin-off. It's waste of time and money. It's badly done, terrible actors, some really bad special effects, very thin plot, and above all what happened to the humour? It's a lame attempt to generate some extra cash using a well established name of Dr. Who. Script and dialogues are so very flat and boring that it makes even the dullest of the new Dr. Who series episodes look far more interesting.

I've always prefered Torchwood to Dr who it has more realistic story lines and relationships, I've also found myself loving Ianto jones even after what he did in Cyberwoman. It's a great series I am looking forward to buying series 2 on dvd.

I purchased this on Wednesday 17th July and It Turned Up On Saturday. I would like to Thank Amazon For Quick Delivery. Torchwood is brilliant in several different ways. It is good that we can pick up different things that have happened in Doctor Who and that they are related to Torchwood. In my opinion Season 2 is better but as with most things they get improved.
