Torchwood - The Complete First Season
Date undefinedI have been a Doctor Who fan for many years and was curious when I heard about this spinoff series. I'd seen a few episodes on BBC America and was intrigued, so now, a few years later, decided to buy the first season. It's alot darker, but it grips your attention and won't let you go; it's also alot more graphic than your average U.S. drama. But that just seems to add to its appeal. If you like Doctor Who, or are already a Torchwood fan, I would definitely recommend this product.
Torchwood - The Complete First Season
Date undefinedAt 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?).
Torchwood - The Complete First Season
Date undefinedYou would think that a team who studied alien events would have more contact with aliens. But instead we get *spoiler* cannibals, cybermen, and a creature that looks exactly like the devil on Doctor Who. Not very original. Season 2 is better, but not by much.
Also if you don't like to watch people have sex, talk about sex, or homosexual acts this isn't the show for you.
