As seen on BBC America, this 7-DISC epic presents the complete first season. From an underground base built on a rift in time and space, the Torchwood team responds to any alien threat. Everyone who works for Torchwood appears young. Some…

Yes the story line is so-so. The acting is forced. The characters are mostly not really likeable. There's certainly more direct sexual references (and overtly homosexual ones) than an American TV show, and the gore can be heavy. All…
The show sucks. Not only is the acting and plot bad, it was way too dramatic and forced. I'm not even sure if you can call it a Doctor Who spin-off. Another downside is the fact that the writers tried to make it an adult drama to bring in…

awful. like the later seasons but this one had terrible cardboard acting, stupid premises for plots. what's with the flying pteradactyl in their headquarters - no one ever mentions but it was helpful in pecking one baddie to death. …

For my tastes, and as a huge Doctor Who fan, this entire series is absolutely revolting! It's well acted and produced, but the stories and characters are simply NOT in the same spirit and polish as Doctor Who. Captain Jack is good in Who,…

This is fun sci-fi. It isn't great, but it is engaging. The overall mystery of the main character is fun. The stories and dramas are a bit thin. It is sexy and intense, gory at times, and something is always stretching your imagination.

If one likes British movies and television one will like this series. It's somewhat confusing at first but becomes clearer as each episode unfolds. The characters seem "cold" at first but they become more enjoyable as the series…

A fun watch, although it's somewhat campy and sometimes features over-the-top acting. I'm hooked largely because of the characters. I'm looking forward to finding out more about Cpt. Jack's back story.

This is a show that is a spin off of Doctor who. If you are a Doctor who o even just a scifi junkie you will love this show. John Barrowman does an amazing job playing the bold and brave Capt. Jack
