Movie Reviews of Torchwood: The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: A New SF Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a science fiction fan -- been afflicted since I read my first Robert Heinlein book at the age of 8 (and that's a scary number of years ago). When BBC-America began running Torchwood about 2 years ago, I was hooked after the first episode.
Of course, it didn't hurt that I was already familiar with the central character, Capt. Jack Harkness, from his appearances on Dr. Who, another BBC series that had wormed its way into my heart. And it didn't hurt that John Barrowman, scores a 9-1/2 on the handsome scale, or that his character is able to hold his sense of humor in the fact of death and destruction. However, the most important part of the first episode is that all of the characters were fully formed and ready to interact with themselves and their world.
The characters are fascinating; Gwen is the heart of the cast, an ex?-police officer with a sensitivity to both humans and monsters that they meat, whereas Owen, the doctor, is the opposite rude, callous, and unable to form a lasting relationship with anyone. Toshiko ("Tosh") is a shy genius with an amazing touch with computers, hacking in wherever she needs to find what she needs. Finally, there's Ianto, with, as Jack once says, his "beautiful Welsh vowels," another shy man who started off as the "receptionist" and liaison with the outside world. Finally, there's Cardiff, a city with a personality like no one has ever seen before -- Strongly Welsh with a modern overlay.
Watch a couple episodes. You'll find yourself as intrigued as I have become, and, no matter what your sexual orientation, probably in love with one or more of the characters, as well as the city and the delightful, scary, sad, funny, and brilliant monsters that you'll come across in each episode.
