Definitely one've the best things i've seen on telly this year.

If not the best.


Very dark. I couldn't help but feel quite ill watching it. Y'know, in a 'what if this was really happening?' feeling.

Spoiler:
I loved the hopelessness of it all. Even when Torchwood were down and out, they fought back, never giving up. But when it all backfired, it was f**king horrible. Ianto dying and seeing Jack give up like that, up against an enemy they had no way of defeating. I was seriously questioning if they would manage to pull off saving the kids. Of course they did in the end, but what a ride! I can't help but wonder: is this the end for Torchwood? Hopefully the Doctor will be able to persuade Jack to return to earth and start again. And hopefully that Lois lass will be given a full-time job with the gang!

Spent last night watching all 5 parts. Simply amazing! I was a little doubtful about this move for the third season, but that was totally worth only 5 episode of Torchwood this year.

BBC America is airing it in a couple weeks. However, if you're resourceful, international boundaries are meaningless.

It was very good, I watched it all over the week with my family. The ending was very dark, but I was kind of glad it was seeing as my sister thought there was going to be some magic reset button activated by the end so none of it happened.

Spoiler:
The only thing I found a bit odd was it was supposed to be the worst 10% of children they chose, so why were the children so well behaved about going with the army for "injections" If they were truly the rowdy percentage of children, they would have revolted and tried to escape, they certainly wouldn't have got orderly onto a bus then stand quietly while they wait...

It'll be airing on BBC America on June 20th.

I liked it in parts but MAN was it sad and depressing. Especially eps 4 and 5. Oi...

If a 4th season is picked up it'll be interesting but we'll be seeing Jack again for the Dr. Who christmas specials.

Season Four is being prepped at the moment.

Considering one of Torchwood's harsh realities is "you die doing this job", don't bet on it.
