The dark side of the doctor 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Excellent series of Torchwood episodes. Very dark and violent at times (and filled with homosexual undertones - which we like!), but this balances the humor of dr WHO. Excellent.

This is a great season! 5 out of 5 stars.

The Torchwood series is incredible! The effects are great, the characters constantly surprise you, and the aliens and monsters are fabulous. If you like science fiction shows like Star Trek and Dr. Who, then this is for you.

More good stuff from Cardiff 4 out of 5 stars.

For the most part I liked this series as much as the first one, but I intensely disliked the character die off at the end. I wonder how the third season, rumoured to be just 5 episodes, possibly shown in one week (in the UK), will deal with that???

Powerful series, more outstanding British telly! 5 out of 5 stars.

Torchwood Series Two presents even better scriptwork, more in depth character development, and several deep kidney punches in the storyline, not to mention the magnificent tie ins to Doctor Who really makes this a better season than Season One.

The only sad thing is, here in the states, we'll have a long wait for Season Three!!

Great Series, Great Amazon Service, Not So Disk Quality 5 out of 5 stars.

Two of the disks in this set were bad, Amazon replaced the entire set with no hassles.

This is great spin-off of Dr. Who, a little more adult than the kid friendly Dr. All of the family, Mom, Dad and the Tenn Boys, enjoy it.

this sexy supernatural police force 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This modern TV story of "good zombies" of London-based Torchwood police force team fighting aliens and other supernatural creatures accomplishes five sequences, of which "Cyberwoman" might be omitted to spare a time.

As accustomed in nowadays visual works, sex possesses a particular part in actions: a Torchwood leader is a homosexual character and some other team members are bi-sexual.

I only bought this because I was running out of Dr Who episodes 5 out of 5 stars.

At first, I was not sure how to take this series- It was a darker, naughtier, grimmier Dr Who without the uplifting fun of David Tennant and his band-

Slightly disappointed at the opener, it was not until the 2nd or 3rd episode where I really started to appreciate, then love the characters and premise despite their naivte at times. After all, they ARE NOT the Doctor, they are humans who for the most part have had little to no exposure to aliens and their technology, and are basically winging it (well, despite Jack) with 21st Century know how- They don't have all the answers like the Doctor, but they carry on their mission to learn more and adapt.

It is a reflection of how the earth carries on WITHOUT the Doctor's presence and the learning curve associated with trying to deal with extra terrestrial incursions- really, did Mulder and Scully ever get this much exposure or effect when dealing with aliens? Seems like every time they got close to a close encounter, the plot did not allow for prolonged or even physical contact with their protagonists, and they were usually relegated to staring at the thing as it disappeared.

The interpretations that the characters are morally compromised, well, I am sure that everyone of us is so perfect that we can judge other's character.

A great series and only getting better, with competent acting, great stories, and the FX is on par with Dr Who (Suprise?).

Great for mature adults! 5 out of 5 stars.

"Torchwood" is to "Doctor Who" like "The Dark Knight" is to "Batman;" same source material, but different. Dark, intense and incredibly funny; Torchwood is for adults who like SF with a British/Welsh accent. Doctor Who can be intense, just not as consistently or deeply as Torchwood. Yes, there is sex in the series and 95 percent of it is heterosexual. I've gulped a couple of times at how graphic they sometimes make it, but I figure I'm just not use to it. The homosexual sex is pretty much limited to intense "snogging" (kissing.) There is no "gay adgenda" in the show, just diverse people doing their diverse thing. BTW, I'm a 54 y.o., heterosexual, American woman who selfishly wishes John Barrowman was straight and a little older; he's gorgeous and, from what I've seen on the DVDs and his website, is as sweet as he can be. Hooray, Torchwood!

I love this show. Great on HDTV. 5 out of 5 stars.

The first time I learned about Torchwood was on HDNet. I saw a preview. What caught my attention was not the story but the incredible image quality. I thought to myself... I got to watch this, it looks to good on my HDTV. The whole show is shot in True HD... unlike many American tv series that are broadcasted in HD but are not shot in HD. That's why I highly recommend the Bluray version of the serie. After viewing the first episode I got hooked on it. I saw season 1 and 2 and I am waiting for season 3 to come out. If you like time travel, ghosts, ESP, people possessed, monsters, warps and black holes this is the show for you. Special effects are mostly good with some few exceptions that can be easily overlooked by all the good story line and twists the show has to offer. Jack and the rest of the cast, with the exception of Eve Myles and Burn Gorman where at Comicon in San Diego this year (2008). You can view their highly energized panel interview on YOU TUBE search "torchwood comicon".
