Torchwood is a mysterious special ops unit in Cardiff that deals with aliens who seem to be bend on taking over earth in the 21st century. The agency is lead by Dr Who regular Captain Jack Harkness and is joined by a young WPC. Off they go to save the world- in Cardiff. Torchwood does not work at all for. I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't like it. There are several reasons for that. One is that the story lines are not very complex, it's more about stringing together interesting scenes. Secondly, I don't particularly like the mix of humour and action. I leaves me somewhat uneasy to watch a stab victim dying in a realstic way and then the funny stuff starts. Plus I find it very fast paced, too fast for my viewing habits. Thirdly, I think Barrowman doesn't deliver a good performance. To me he just seems to mimic Eccleston's Dr. Who.
