Torchwood-

[Apositive]

I just got around to watching this series on Netflix streaming(I know I'm WAYYY late to the party!)

I've finished the first season and a half and I like it - but it's not as good as I thought it would be. I thought that I would REALLY like it. I like the cast.

I just want to know if it gets any better from here or should I find another sci-fi series to watch. It just seems to be struggling around recurring themes(first the team's mission was alien threats, then they seemed to center all their scripts on "the Rift").

Does it improve? Please break it to me without any spoilers.

Being a big DOCTOR WHO fan (which TORCHWOOD is an wordplay on), I highly recommend the show! It's a bit more serious that Doctor Who most of the time, but nonetheless, highly entertaining....!

I like Torchwood but for me the show got worse as the seasons progressed.

Season's 1-2 are the best imo

I think it gets better as it gets along personally, mostly because the character development is good.

The plots range from good to meh and it suffers way too much from Deux Ex Machina at times (an RTD handicap) but he's very good at creating people you care about so it kind of evens out.

I think it got better and better (with Children of Earth the very best), then it went crashing down in the latest season, which was awful.

Miracle Day should have been four parts tops. I remember when the first episode ran I thought "How are they going to keep this ball in the air for ten parts?"

The early series were good,aswell as Children of Earth,although Miracle Day started off quite good it sadly lost it for me after the 5th episode.

Hmmmm....

It kinda goes back and forth, but overall I like it 'cos it's different. A lot of the probelms seem to come from them stretching plots to fit a programming schedule: Miracle Day seems to suffer from being stretched out by presenting a number of subplots that don't go anywhere and don't really add much to the story.

Watched a couple more eps yesterday and this morning.....Gwenn's wedding was ok. I've decided to watch all Netflix has of Torchwood. It seems to beat most of the other TV series they have.

I never understood why they bumped off some characters.

>I never understood why they bumped off some characters.

That was one of the things I liked about it. There was some genuine tension 'cos you never knew who was gonna make it.... or if the good guys would actually win. Or who were REALLY the good guys.

^^^ My comment was very general. Not a spoiler.

Still a spoiler....just watched the episode where Owen(probably the most interesting character) and Toshiko(HOTNESS) were killed.

Well, at least it's not boring....

But I will miss Tosh for sure.
