Children of Earth: Day Two
Last episode left us in a tense place: Jack was blown up along with the Torchwood tower and Ianto remains unaccounted for. Gwen is alive, but injured. This episode opens by adding to the tension: someone is actively working on … Continue reading

Children of Earth: Day One
The last episode of Torchwood season 2 was a gut wrenching powerhouse that left us weak in the knees and wondering where we would go from here. The answer is: into a dark place. If there’s one thing that resonates … Continue reading

Exit Wounds
When I said I’d give Chibnall a 50/50 chance at pulling off a strong finale, I would never have expected him to deliver. Exit Wounds is a hard episode to watch. It’s a powerful episode that will leave you shaking. … Continue reading
Fragments
Once again, I am amazed at how solid Chris Chibnall’s writing can be when he does human drama. It seems when he tries to add science fiction to the mix, he gets it a bit wrong but when left to … Continue reading

A Day in the Death
Last week I mentioned how Torchwood is not a series “burdened” by joy. To be clear, I mean it’s not a show that is often very happy, so it’s very suited to darker storytelling, certainly more than its parent series, … Continue reading
Reset
Torchwood continues to evolve and this episode feels like it could have been the start of a far more successful run for the series but it does fall foul of something Star Trek was doing years earlier by being afraid … Continue reading
Adam
This episode of Torchwood effectively does two things really well: it gives us backstory into Jack (pre-Doctor Who) and it gives us a really disturbing view of how memories define us. Without them, we are not who we think we … Continue reading
