I love the new Doctor Who series, so I naturally jumped all over Torchwood when it started back in October. However, I have to say that I enjoy Doctor Who far, far more. I dunno how to put it, but Torchwood just doesn't excite me like I thought it would. I don't think the series itself even knows what it is. You've got Countrycide which might as well be an X-files episode, and then you've got the last two episodes which I did really like.
I dunno, maybe I'm just annoyed because the one character we know going into the show, Jack, is the character we probably see least -- although I'm sure this is done delibritly (saving all the good stuff for Doctor Who). I really look forward to seeing Jack back in Doctor Who and if there's another series of Torchwood that allows for Jack to not be so guarded, maybe I'll like it more.
Oh, and my friend and I both agree that Torchwood has no hope of ever reaching American TV; I think we'll be lucky just to get a DVD release here. I'll consider importing the R2 DVDs if there's a complete series set (right now it's only "Part One").
