unfortunately, it hasn't come over to australia yet, (knwoing our crappy tv stations, it never will!!!) however i have downloaded the first episode and i absolutely loved it!!
(note: i also downloaded the second episode but it had no sound- anyone whose seen it will understand my confusion at certain scenes that i was watching and had little idea WHY certain people were doing certain things with certain other people. i'm sure u get it!!)
anyway, i am well and truly a woodie!!! i can't wait till i can download the rest of the episodes!!

No spoilers in this post.. Just excitement..
The third episode rocked! If this is the weekly standard of the series, sign me up now.
It was dark, gritty and tense stuff, and stayed true to its mission statement. I hate to say it, but I love this show more than Who.
It was great to see certain things happen (with the characters) so early in its run.
End of excited rant.

This series is going from strength to strength!
Select to view spoiler:
The cyberwoman storyline seemed a little cheesy when I first saw the promo, but it turned out really well. It was pure sci-fi horror. Lots of blood, danger, emotion and action!
I love how each actor is getting their own character arc early on this series.
There is a definite Buffy/Angel vibe to the series. Russel T Davies has said in interview that his family love both shows, and it shows through the ensemble acting on screen.
The adult nature of the show is so refreshing!
I loved the battle with the pterodactyl and the cyber woman. It was a great concept piece that looked very realistic on screen.

First 2 episodes, not bad.
Third one. Very good.
Cyberwoman. Crashed and burned. The old doc pawing Robochick was a bit creepy. But what I objected to was that if we are to have any defence against alien hordes, our Last Best Hope should not be a whiney snivelling prat.
Pull yourself together man!

I'm a huge Doctor Who fan (look at my username for proof) but Torchwood is only okay, sometimes hitting good.
It is definitely trying to hit Buffy/Angel heights but it just does not have the budgets and talent available to it that those two shows had. The two central characters of Jack and Gwen are interesting but the others are basically cyphers. Ianto switches from being the "gets it done" man to whimpering crying wet blanket as suits the plot. The scientist (whose name I can't even remember) feels poorly realised and acted and the other guy jumped from rapist to rape avenger without any attempt at explaining this character shift.
It's not bad; quite enjoyable really and there's precious few UK sci-fi shows but I think the mainstream audience won't stick with it.

The opening scene with the ball game... now what does that remind me of..?
