Captain Jack Harkness, the former Time Agent and con man from the 51st century last seen traveling with the Doctor, ventures to early 21st century Cardiff. There, he becomes a member of Torchwood Institute, a renegade criminal investigation group founded by Queen Victoria to battle hostile extraterrestrial and supernatural threats.
The members of the Torchwood Institute, a secret organization founded by the British Crown, fight to protect the Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats.
Having watched the first series of "Doctor Who" spin-off "Torchwood", I'm hooked but also ambivalent about it, hence my average score. My wife picked up on the swearing straight away and said 'Ooh, you can tell that this was written for the post-watershed slots, can't you?'
F*&^ me if she isn't right too. Russell T Davies has written adult drama before, as well as injecting new life into "Doctor Who", but the 13 episodes of "Torchwood" sit uneasily between Family and Kids-Gone-to-Bed content. There is the odd eff and blind, a lot of mild gay/bisexual content and some occasional (tastefully shot) raunch, but the series doesn't really need it. In fact, the attempts to be "Adult" detract from the stories because they're so obviously tacked on to appeal to a "Grown Up" audience. It's a worrying note of insecurity in an otherwise assured (albeit overwrought) series and I hope that it will be addressed if the viewing figures warrant another 13 episodes.
Russell T Davies has a perfect example to follow in Joss Whedon, creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and spin-off series "Angel". Both these American shows managed to be dark and sexy without resorting to the use of bad language to show how "Adult" they were. Have a look at Buffy and make a few notes, Russell!
John Barrowman plays a troubled Jack Harkness and Eve Myles is at least a match for him as Torchwood newbie PC Gwen Cooper. The series manages the odd moment of humour, but the mood is generally dark and it's clear that the members of the Torchwood team are all lost in their own strange worlds. As Captain Jack's only real qualifications for running the Torchwood operation are "Can't die" and "Met a Time Lord a while ago", there's plenty of scope for the team to try and undermine/shoot/sleep with each other (not in that order, I hasten to add). Somehow Jack manages to ignore all the bitching and hysteria around him and concentrate on his own neuroses. He is not the happy-go-lucky Action Bisexual that we first met in "Doctor Who", to be sure. Barrowman, Myles and the rest of the cast do a good job with what they're given but the show was clearly over-analysed at the planning stage. Unfortunately "Torchwood" has lost a lot of the heart of its Time Lord counterpart in the process.
Setting the whole shebang in Cardiff is inspired, putting "Torchwood" at the centre of its own off-kilter universe, so to speak. Normally all the big, expensive, exciting stuff happens in London or Manchester or Glasgow in UK TV drama, so Cardiff is strange territory even for jaded UK viewers.
While the episodes all feature some gems of sci-fi/horror, they are let down by inconsistencies and the odd idiosyncrasy, eg:
The Torchwood pterodactyl: It's introduced in the first episode and gets to fight the Cyberwoman, then it never appears again. I didn't see it get killed, so where is it?
The Cyberwoman: Why would a bunch of implacable automatons like the Cybermen create a "sexy" hybrid with metal boobs, high heels and a visible belly button? And why didn't Ianto end up dead in a tray next to Suzy Costello? He flouts every rule of the Torchwood Institute, recklessly endangers his colleagues and gets a scientist and a pizza delivery girl killed. How did he earn a reprieve after that level of betrayal? Presumably no one else knew how the coffee maker worked?
Countrycide: Torchwood operatives are getting picked off like flies but no-one thinks about getting the police or the army (dare I say UNIT?) to go in mob-handed.
Jack and Ianto: Presumably the shock of losing his girlfriend in the Cyberwoman episode makes Ianto decide to go gay or omnisexual or whatever. Look, the chances of 2 men with homosexual tendencies working together in any field outside the fashion industry are pretty damn slim.
The Weevil Baiting Episode: Yes, we've all seen "Fight Club", thanks. Next!
Captain Jack Harkness (the original one) being gay: Jack (Torchwood Jack, I mean) changed history after having a dance with the doomed man whose identity he hijacked in WWII. Given the attitude toward homosexuality 60-odd years ago, it's a safe bet that the other servicemen in the nightclub would have dragged the original Harkness into a back alley and kicked him to death for dancing with another man in front of them.
I'll be tuning in if they make another series but I won't stick with "Torchwood" if it's as overwrought as Series 1. Russell T Davies needs to take a firmer grip on the reins of his creation if he wants it to be viewed in the same light as the new "Doctor Who".
I was really, really excited when I heard Captain Jack was going to have his own show. And I really, really wanted to love it. But I really, really hate it.
Up until the last episode filled with a town of cannibals (not even an alien in sight), I was just disappointed and meant to soldier on (hoping it would get better). But I give up.
Jack is a totally different person. And I have no idea what kind of person he's supposed to be. He's flat, dull and boring. And, yes, I know those are three ways of saying the same thing. He's THAT boring.
The rest of the cast is lifeless at best and weird at worst. But then they probably can't figure out what they're supposed to be doing either.
And don't get me started on Ianto still being around. Would never happen in real life, would it? I mean, would you trust this man with your grocery shopping, let alone your life? So. I love Dr. Who, and look forward to Jack popping up into it again. I just won't be watching Torchwood again.
"Torchwood" is an anagram of Doctor Who. When Doctor Who was revived in 2005, fans wanted to know all they could about the episodes before they aired. In order to keep scripts and set photos from being leaked onto the internet, Russel T Davies created the anagram "Torchwood," to appear on the production notes and on sets and locations so that they would be overlooked by people trying to get a scoop on Doctor Who. Later, he decided that it would be a good name for a corporation and worked it into the second series. The Torchwood Institute finally made its appearance in the Doctor Who series 2 finale "Army Of Ghosts"/"Doomsday," though it had been mentioned throughout the second series (and in part 1 of the series 1 finale "Bad Wolf" by Anne Droid) Series 2, episode 2 of the revived Doctor Who (the episode "Tooth and Claw") depicts the founding of the Torchwood Institute by Queen Victoria in 1879, to 'defend against threats beyond imagination'. In Series 2, episode 2 of the revived Doctor Who (the episode "Tooth and Claw"), the Doctor visits the 1879 Scotland and saves Queen Victoria from a vicious alien. Faced with the fact that aliens could attack Earth at any time, the Queen founds the Torchwood Institute for alien research in the house where the attack took place - the Torchwood Estate. Fearing that the Doctor brings these threats with him in his travels, he was made the primary enemy of the Torchwood Institute. Torchwood Three - the primary location of the series - is located in Cardiff, Wales, as there is a rift in time and space running through the city. Aliens and generally nasty creatures are constantly being drawn to and sometimes thrown out of the rift, making its protection an important task for the Torchwood team. There are (or have been) at least four other Torchwood bases. Torchwood One was located at Canary Wharf in central London, but was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf, as depicted in the Doctor Who series 2 finale "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday." Torchwood Two is located in Glasgow. Captain Jack Harkness has stated that Torchwood Four is missing (possibly meant to be a reference to Babylon 4's disappearance on the show Babylon 5), but will turn up eventually.
The radio play, "Torchwood: Golden Age" showed that there was also a Torchwood India which was officially shut down on 24th February, 1924. Shortly after the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) regenerated into the Tenth (David Tennant), he lost his hand in a battle (depicted in the post-series 1 Christmas special "The Christmas Invasion"). He was able to grow the hand back due to leftover regenerative energy, but the old one was taken by Jack, who used the hand to determine when an iteration of the Doctor that he would know arrived. When the Doctor is around, the hand starts to glow, as demonstrated in in the Torchwood series 1 finale "End of Days". Diane was featured in the Torchwood series 1 episode "Out of Time". She flew her plane - along with two passengers - through a rift in time, from 1953 to 2006. While being taken care of by the Torchwood team, she and Owen started a relationship. In the end she chose to try and fly home again, leaving an emotionally wrecked Owen behind. Diane returned as a ghost in the series 1 finale "End of Days," when she tried to make Owen open up the rift, saying it would reunite them. The character of Jack Harkness is originally introduced and demonstrated to be bisexual (sometimes referred to as omnisexual) he will engage in romance and sexual intercourse with any willing and attractive partner of age whether male or female, human or alien. It has said that it has not being cancelled yet they're still thinking of what to do and Russell T Davies is doing another TV show [new children's TV show] Wizards vs Aliens. When he has time he's going to work on Torchwood, but there most likely be more seasons to come.They finished season 4 on a cliffhanger so there has to be another season. And this is what John Barrowman said: "We've pushed the pause button now because we don't know what's happening. It's beyond my control." So let's be patient.
