Given that the previous season of Torchwood was such an abomination I decided to wait for the reviews of the new Torchwood series to come in before watching it. Did anyone watch it, was it any good?

I didn't watch it because I either missed or gave up half way through the last season.

yea, i gave up last season and haven't watched the new stuff

It was fairly good, would of prefered some new Doctor Who myself though.

Better than most of last season.

Not perfect and perhaps a bit too midwich cuckoo, but worth a watch. I think the format of the 5 episodes is helping here perhaps.

I quite liked it.

For a five parter, I was glad to see the script writers playing Tight Mouthed Larry as to what is going on. There are pretty strong hints, but I'm filing them as 'Red Herrings' just now.

Personally, I'm kind of hoping it's the Time Lords coming back. Saw a picture in the Sun of the new Doctor, The Master and a third spod standing together. And the third spod had a distinctly Gallifreyan symbol on the front of his robes.....

Oh, and so far, very little bad language and no rumpy pumpy.

That would be good. Dr Who has been one of my favorite shows since it first came out, and now I'm getting my daughter into it.

How many seasons has Torchwood run for now? I only saw the first season, and it seemed like every show was a journey into angst.

This is the third series, and so far it's pretty good.

Gone is the mindless swearing, and nary a hint of Russell T Davies rather annoying Fruity Agenda.

Am missing tonights episode though, as it's Pub night. And tomorrows, because it's a Friday night, so I'm driving my Taxi!

For those of use that have now seen all 5 episodes:

Interesting idea Wolfstan, Gwen, as we've seen, is pretty much the mainstay character, I'm sure it'll carry on in some form or another, at least for another series.

This mini-series had me on the edge of my seat and running around the house screaming in suspense all week, the format really worked, it was wells scripted, well written allround, and dealt with a political angle very well.

'Fruity agenda?' Lol, you do make me smile sometimes Doc, if it was a fruity agenda you'd be watching Bruno with lasers

(Hopes there arn't lasers in Bruno...)

Definately a massive improvement on Series 2, so go and Iplayer it, NOW!

Just an idea.
