Torchwood – Miracle Day (Somewhat Improved)

So Torchwood is coming back, and this time on Starz. Yay? The first poster was revealed a few weeks ago, looking like something that a Bullwinkle villain would design. Boris!

A second poster has surfaced, this time with more of what one might expect from a Torchwood revival. In other words, it’s got Captain Jack on it. And a very Captain Jack tagline: “Death is not an option.” (Yes. We know. Hence the ever-present Harkness I’ll-outlive-you-all-so-alone man-pain.)

But perhaps there are better taglines.

    Does this mean you’re asking for nominations? I’m still kinda drooling…. wait, what is that piece of artillery in his hands?

    So Torchwood…never heard of it. Good show? Anything to compare it to?

    Torchwood is an adult spin-off from the BBC’s Doctor Who, comparable to The X-Files or possibly Fringe. A team of investigators led by a man who cannot die (Captain Jack Harkness) is charged with tracking alien activity and technology from their HQ in Cardiff, Wales.

    Is it good? Yes, provided you take it as a kind of sci-fi melodrama instead of a straight-up action series. And it helps if you’ve seen a few episodes of Doctor Who, particularly those that introduce Harkness.
