TorchWood

I had taped the first episode and watched it when I got back from vacation and it was seriously awesome. Can't wait for episode 2.

Works out rather well, I can watch Harry potter then go home and watch Torchwood

Can't wait for the 2nd episode, but I hope this weird switch doesn't last long. Jack without immortality is just not Jack.

Just watching to see what the differences are between the UK and US version! lol!

Well, didn't notice any differences in episode 1, but we got a fantastic season trailer! :woot:

I'm enjoying it, got better in the second half. Loved the bridge reference too.

Although I hate hearing the "Welshie" accent on TV :laugh:

Awful, they've totally Americanised it.

Well they did pay for most of it :whistle:

I'm kind of glad its gone in a new direction, the older series were getting a bit cheesy for me.

It will probably go back to the old style, once Stars get bored of it.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Hated it, they have destroyed it by making it appeal to the Americans. Guns, explosions, rocket launchers, helicopter car chase are the americans so brainless they need these things to enjoy a show?

[WelshBluebird]

I actually though it was pretty good. Did prefer the older episodes, but that doesn't mean this series is bad. Just different.

And I loved the jokes about the Severn Bridge. Too true. Nearly ?6 to get over it now! (and as Gwen made a point of in the clips of upcoming episodes - Wales is NOT England ).

I wouldn't say it was awful, I really enjoyed it but I agree that it was very Americanised. They even said "Season" and not "series" which is something that really annoys me for some reason. Was nice to see the actor who played Greg Pratt in ER ( I forgot his name) :D

So i guess all the big alien stuff of Doctor Who (the Christmas specials) and Torchwood (Children of Earth) never made the news in America or never happened because the CIA woman was surprised about aliens.

utter crap - the yanks part fund it and turn it into yet another boring seen it all before CSI clone. It just doesn't befit the Torchwood name.

I'm tempted to say that I agree but I'll wait until 've watched a bit more before making a final decision. The hardest thing for me was the jarring difference between Eve Myles's very natural acting style and the new American cast who just seemed very wooden in comparison.

I thought the bit about the CIA agent racing out of a hospital, jumping on a plane and renditioning everyone within a few hours was pretty silly as well.

The first two seasons of Torchwood were a bit silly but I thought Children of Earth was really excellent. Hopefully this will improve over the next couple of episodes to match that.

[spy beef]

Bring back the old Torchwood please!

Can't watch it any more, 3 episodes in and it's getting far worse with each episode :(

RIP Torchwood and shame on you Russell T(wat) Davies for supposedly 'overseeing' production but ultimately letting the Yanks murder your previously successful series!

You should have let the BBC pick it back up and continued with the successful formula you had before.

Muppet!

[Growled Member]

I sort of like it. It's a bit ridiculous and over the top but Torchwood has always been that way to me.

RIP Torchwood

These two points are exactly the opinion I was thinking when coming in this thread

I've always felt first series of torchwood was rubbish and then it got better with Children of Earth being its highest point. Sadly this series so far has let it down.

HOWEVER I've started watching it so I will watch it to conclusion and I just hope it will get better

[Adam1V]

what series is children of the earth?

Im up to speed with the latest series of Torchwood, and its been my first time properly watching.

Ive watched some early episodes which had individual stories per episode, but only watched maybe 2 and thought they were too silly to carry on watching.

Children of Earth would be Series 3, but I don't think they ever labeled it as such.

[Growled Member]

To be honest I have stopped watching this. It's utterly boring. I liked it at first and then the longer I watched it the more boring it became.
