Derivative and far too long.
Obvious steals from Contact, Midwich Cuckoos, Terminator to name just three of many.
The Welsh bird is OK but not that special - we need Confessions of Billie Piper to spice it up a bit

Sorry - I fell asleep half way through the first one.
Did it get any better - Last bit I remember was when fat side kick was talking to his Mum in Wales about how he was a poof

Upon watching the first one i commentated to the missus that it felt wrong, stuffy and the pacing was off compared to a normal episode, but i had forgotten that it was being split down in 5 x 1 hour episodes.
Last nights was a bit better IMO

I just tried watching this drivel again. I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can enjoy watching it 
Its truly terrible, I simply cannot find any redeeming features in the program at all 
Ah well, at least Clint is on later tonight. His stuff may be old, but it can still show Torchwood into its grave.

Just thinking now, it's absolute crap isn't it.
Dr Who is just as silly but it's GOOD because the Dr is a lovable character and played so well by the various characters who have been him. Same goes for his assistants.
But Torchwood has no good central character. Captain Jack is a utter bell end and John Barrowman is a pissy little upstart of an actor. He's even managed to make them portray Captain Jack as a gayer just because he is himself and it suited his huge ego
None of the female characters are strong or real enough to be likable either.
That's why Dr Who is the shizzle and Torchwood is just ****.

Or even the writer, if you're gonna go down that route
Anyway, no way, he imposed his big gay ego on the program and demanded some man love action in the script. His character being gay does not fit in with the rest of the show at all
