Torchwood

So, Torchwood. Kind of... icky, wasn't it? I think I get the story might be about corruption now. But Gwen is a useless POV character (and I'll never forgive her for what she's doing to Barry Backstory; although I think Burn wotsisname is giving the best performance in the show). I think if I was about fifteen, I might think this was the best TV programme I had ever seen. As it is - well, it's better than Robin Hood. But nowhere near as good as Strictly Come Dancing.

Hey, though! They're showing Crown Court on Legal TV!

It's very thin on humour, which I'd thought would have been one of its strengths. I'll keep going till the end, of course - I'm still watching Robin Hood for some bizarre reason.

The first ep was quite amusing but that was it. Yes, I was expecting the Jack we met in the Blitz.

If I'm not enjoying a series or book, I just give up and move on to something better.

I find it very hard to give up on stuff. I'm assuming that they have some kind of story arc going on, so I want to see that through to completion. I've made the break with BSG now, I won't be going back to that when it turns up again.

I stopped halfway through S2 with that. I have occasionally been too quick to make up my mind, but from what I've heard from people who like it for reasons I wouldn't, I made the right decision.
