Show Summary

Torchwood, a spin-off from the popular sci-fi show Doctor Who, follows a group of investigators working for the secret organisation of the same name. Set in Cardiff, Wales the team specialise in alien technology that has landed on Earth, and crime, whether it be alien or human. The mysterious Captain Jack Harkness is the leader of the equally mysterious Torchwood, and vows to guard humanity against alien threats. Curious PC Gwen Cooper accidentally discovers the group, and soon becomes entangled in a series of events. This leads up to her being hired, and becoming involved in the exciting affairs of the organisation. Together with medic, Owen Harper, and the tech expert, Toshiko Sato, and the impressible Ianto Jones, the five explore the thrilling world of Torchwood.moreless

    Seriously, the network should tell us if they plan on killing this spinoff altogether or continuing it. Torchwood has always been the "Darker Side" of the Doctor Who universe, but since Doctor Who episodes have had a darker/more adult theme lately I'm wondering if Torchwood is still needed. Honestly, I can't say that I've missed it that much. So many characters have been killed off and the Miracle day miniseries wasn't that great. If they get a new cast of characters and give the show a life of it's own like it had when they first started, I'd be interested in watching it again. Either way, just tell us what's going on.moreless

    Love Torchwood. the cast was brilliant and the scifi story lines were pretty good. the only thing i was disappointed in was Torchwood: Miracle Day, they aired it on Starz and showed none of the new viewers what had happened during the last seasons. *Spoiler* i dont know about you but i teared up when Ianto, Tashiko and Owen died and for them to be forgotten during Miracle Day was bs.



    Highly recommend watching it but skipping miracle day (or at least watch miracle day with not many expectations)moreless

  • love Jack Harkness, hate everything else about the series

    When the show tries to be dramatic, it's just super depressing. Other than that, it's uninteresting, and the ream falls far short of being heroes.

    Torchwood Fails to Pull Off a Miracle Ending

    Starz's sci-fi original finished its season in ridiculous, confusing fashion... though in retrospect, maybe that was the best possible scenario.
