So i haven’t blogged about my love for Torchwood until now, i was stumbling around and found someone giving it a review that was supposed to be harsh, but i found its critics made it sound more appealing than its synopsis. truly an awesome show if you even almost liked dr.who! heres what the guy at “Jesus Drives an SUV” had to say about it:

It’s basically the investigating team from Angel, in the universe of Doctor Who , operating off of stolen alien technology like some renegade Welsh Stargate team, solving cases lifted from shows like The X-Files if not from Doctor Who itself, with the juvenile hyperssexuality of Lexx (though without the benefit of cruising around in a planet-destroying phallus, I’m sorry to say), all mixed together with the gender-bending intricacies of The L Word (admittedly, not sci fi, but at least there are lots of exposed breasts, which must count for something). Most of the episode plots are also recycled from other shows, and most of the characters are flat, predictable clichés, which means that instead of catching up on a dozen different shows, you can just watch Torchwood and giggle at the writing team’s crude efforts at innuendo. It’s ten shows for the cost of one!

Without the shit at characters being predictable i completely agree, and it is as awesome as that makes it sound. Torchwood
