Advantages: Barrowman

Disadvantages: can be violent

Well what can I say about this excellent show? Lets start with its origin. Torchwood is a spin off series from the wonderful Doctor Who series. It revolves around the incomparable Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and his team called Torchwood. This team was born from the ruins of the old Torchwood that was set up in London, which was referred to and seen in the Doctor Who series.

Captain Jack and his team fight aliens and unusual activity which is caused because of a rift in time and space which runs through the city of Cardiff. This is everything that Doctor Who can't be because of Doctor Who being a family show. Torchwood has excessive violence, bad language and lots of sex. This is great as it gives us something we longed for since the early days of Dr Who and never got to see. I'm sure I wasn't the only one secretly hoping Jon Pertwee would try it on one day with one of his assistants. This show gives us what we really want and isn't afraid to keep the elements we have come to know and love too.

The acting is superb from all characters, the story lines are intelligent, gripping and all exceptionally well put together. Barrowman brings an air of integrity and confidence to his role and delivers on all levels.

Verdict:

If you enjoy Doctor Who, and wouldn't mind seeing that little bit more violence and other indulgences. Or if it's pure and wonderful entertainment you want, then look no further than Torchwood. You will get addicted quickly

Summary: gripping
