Torchwood - Series 2 Box Set

Honestly, the only reason I started watching Torchwood is because I think John Barrowman is hot lol. I heard that the show was bad but entertaining at the same time and I decided to just watch it and judge for myself. I honestly enjoyed the first season, even though there were a lot of hits and misses. There is only one episode I disliked and it was ep9 which pretty much focused on a character that wasn't part of the Torchwood team. But the rest of the episodes had a lot more highs than lows IMO. So I guess the best word to describe the first season is "entertaining". This word was used by a lot of people who don't like the show and criticize it too.Now, the second season has been FANTASTIC. I've seen the first 11 episodes and I love them. There are only 2 episodes that I'm not crazy about, but they're still better than most of the eps in season 1.This new season, the characters have developed and became much more fun. The whole atmosphere of the show has improved and the story lines are much better imo. It's definitely worth watching.

Torchwood's great: it's a good mix of semi serious 'dark' (their word!) sci fi and fluffy fun with a generous dose of sheer humanity. ('tho those who bring this out aren't always human!) The much maligned (and celebrated) snogging between same/opposite sexes and aliens is a part and parcel of the whole series aim to present the bizarre within a very normal (Welsh) world. The snogging, the cameraderie, the Cardiff backdrop are the normal bit and I strongly recommend you allow your kids to watch it because guys do snog guys and gals gals and the sooner they accept this, the sooner the world will become a more pleasant place to live in. Torchwood Series 2 has been pre-watershed-ed to make it more watchable by kids and they've taken out some of the violence. I'm pre-ordering despite being only part way thru the series on TV because I applaud Russell T Davies and his team for making ground-breaking, mould-breaking TV within the genre least likely. Oh, and let's face it, JB IS eye candy!

I enjoyed this series stories which are a bit more involved than Dr Who but in the same genre. .. so called"adult" themes in the story with Capt Jack being gay which will generate questions from your youngsters so keep that in mind, ,, it was an evolution from series one and improved. Good episodes, couldn't leave it alone watching at least two segments each time.

I have to say it is disappointing that some people are still criticising Torchwood for the gay scenes - dear me I think it is time to join the rest of us in the 21st Century where (gasp) there are same sex relationships.Still: to the res. This is a massive improvement on the occasionally uneven first season, the writing is sharper and wittier and because they are easing up on the SFX it is not over-reliant of CG (which occasionally marred the last season). Even better then that there are some real laughs in this series.The 'special guests' have also fit in well - like it's sister show Doctor Who - they are not simply wheeled in for the sake of it. Alan Dale is nicely sinister (how far he has come from Ramsey Street) and James Marsters looks to be having enormous fun as Captain John.So ignore the naysayers and enjoy!

I never watched the first series of torchwood but i had always wanted too, so when series 2 came on tele, i made it a ritual to watch every episode. it was brilliant! the story lines in every episode are great and the special effects etc are very good. the realationships between the characters are sometimes tense but thats what makes them so good. it feels like you know them and they aren't just fictional characters in a sci fi series.i had to wait so long until i could buy the DVD boxset and im so glad i did. all the episodes are on it as well as special features (outakes and deleted scenes) and the torchwood declassifyed series. completely brillaint, any fan of torchwood or doctor who must buy this!

Another gritty Torchwood adventure doesn't disappoint with a very sad ending

great condition discs - case in really good condition , no cracks or breaks on disc holders - a little light wear on outer box but very happy overall, thank you

The second series, in my opinion, is even better than the first. The death of one of the main characters surprised me. Not going to do a spoiler alert though.
