Ok so Torchwood then…

Where to start?

Well it starts of with two people that should have ended up dead, and rumours about something called Torchwood.

The action shifts over to Wales briefly shows where the budget has gone, with long sweeping shots of the Welsh coast line. It looks pretty, but it’s a long distance from the British beginnings…

And I suppose that my first problem. For the first twenty minutes there seems to be a lot of style, but mostly with characters that aren’t really that likeable. Twenty minutes in, it all changes and

we get to meet Captain Jack again. Gwen and Rhys are reassuring faces in a sea of new characters, but Torchwood is still the John Barrowman show.

The action doesn’t really kick in until the last five minutes, with Gwen and

Jack reunited, and an explanation as to why the Torchwood team end up in America. But why did PC Andy help out the CIA so easily, when during the Children of Earth he at least seemed unwilling?

Look it’s not all bad. It’s nice to see the Torchwood characters, nods to older stories, nods to old characters… I just hope it gets better…
