Torchwood

[altariel]

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!

The gore wasn't gruesome, but there was something slightly sordid about the whole thing. Maybe this was what they were aiming for.

My reading is that Gwen has been the POV character from the start: we entered Torchwood with her, she is the only one whose outside life we follow in any detail, and we are seeing her get further into the mire.

I was a bit bored by the time of the tractor rescue, but last night's had one laugh out loud moment, where Owen shouted out something like, "Only in the &£*%$ countryside!" Also, I love bad puns so I liked the title.
