The series was so slow, not torchwood at all. The UK producers should know better to change a working format and produce this slow moving

Sadly this series of Torchwood did not live up-to the fast paced fun filled earlier series particularly series two.
CaptainJack was marginalized and was simplified to fit in with american stereo types — hew has become too gay and lost the omnisexual banter he had enjoyed and as for Gwen Cooper she is totally unrecognizable. I am sorry I got so bored with this series slow pace that i gave up at episode 5.
For Torchwood to succeed it needs to go back to the format of the second season with self contained episodes.

Russell t davies dont you dare give up on Torchwood its one of your finest. As for the critics only have to look back to 1976 I claudius brilliant series and now a recognised classic was not well received overall yet its proved its worth. Heres to the nest episode and then some!

Brilliant show and rumour has it that if series 5 is made stage 2 is resurrecting the dead using the information gained by making everyone immortal in series 4

Just one question that stuck in my mind throughout the series: where were the aliens? The only alien we got was that parasite thing and Jack. Torchwood was all about protecting Earth from the aliens that came through the rift. This series was just not good enough. It focused more on Jack and his past which was good but the blessing? Really? A space between two rocks? That’s just a bad ending. Its also bad that the CIA were more in charge than the torchwood team; this is a british made series and even though it was bought by starz it should have focused more on torchwood being in control instead of an american organistaion. But as always Gwen was the best and it upset me that Ester died- much prefered her to Rex. My opinion of the series is that it was average at best and nothing like the true torchwood (series 1 and 2). I would say people should watch it but don’t be surprised at how much this new series is lacking.

Wow OMG Torchwood amazing yeah at first i thought yeah its ok and where are all the extartrestrials and aliens …torchwood is so diffrent and i hated what they had dont to it but yeah overall now that i watched the whole series it was really good!!! Cant wait till they make another series!!
But i was really unhappy when Rex turned out like jack cause jacks blood was still in rex i was like no there cant be another person whos imortal like jack hes unique special in his own way no one can share that with him not even rex:( jacks one of a kind but What the hell Its torchwood so yeah might as well watch it anyway anyhow as long as jack still in it.For a moment when i thought jack was dead i was like nooo omg Torchwood is nothing without jack hes amazing but then when he came back to life i was all like yeah thats jack and i was so relived. Love Torchwood and Doctor Who the best tv shows ever!!!

Hey, I really liked this new series, though I think it was a bad idea killing of so many of Torchwood’s lead characters (Suzie Costello, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, Ianto Jones and now Esther Drummond) I personally feel some of the characters were killed off too quickly as their story could have developed. Plus Jack’s immortal, but Gwen seem to be immortal as well, every other mortal torchwood operative has died within a few years working with Torchwood, except her.

i have heard there were no aliens in this torchwood, and the other dy for my bday i got the doctor who series 1 dvd box set, and all that is in there, is beautiful acting, amazing monsters, simple yet brilliant storylines, some of the recent episodes don’t live up to the old ones! and the monster is always the baddy, unlike the siren, who should have been a baddy! And the dolls, i wanted the dolls to haunt george for some reason.

No. No. No. No. NO! Jack is NOT immortal! He is a fixed point in time and space. Th Doctor has confirmed this. There is no way his blood would be able to make anyone immortal. The point is he cannot die. When Rose restored his life, she went too far. Most of the series has been an anti-climax. Not a monster or alien in sight! This is the same with Doctor Who. Too much mamby pamby soppy feely writing about trust and relationships. Bring back the good old monster – chase episodes. This has been severley lacking recently.

Watched it on Sunday and then again Thursday. I hated it. I’d give miracle day a 5/10. It started off decent with an ok first ep. 2,3 and 4 has me crawling around the floor untill it was over trying to pay attention. Ep 5 had me gripped the whole time and I was surprised at that. Ep 6 wasn’t as good but better than 2,3 and 4 combined. 7 was brilliant and is my fave one because it felt like torchwood. 8 was good. 9 wasn’t as good and 10 tried to be as dark as it could get but failed. Overall
1.Children of earth(incredible)
2.Series 1(Countrycide!!!)
3.Series 2
4.Miracle day

I thought this was a brilliant concept, however it couldve been made into a shorter series, stretching across 10 episodes meant it had to retain our attention for 10 hrs, and it just didnt. I didnt like the ‘plan B’ cliffhanger, it wouldve been better to close this storyline and open a new one next series. I do hope they go back to weekly adventures with a proper team, and i hope rex somehow becomes mortal again because i do not like him. Regarding its britishness, i dont understand why the bbc couldnt continue to fund it considering its such a popular programme, maybe next time it can remain unternational, just less american …
