This atmospheric DOCTOR WHO spin-off follows a clandestine group of investigators who delve into extraterrestrial phenomena. From the Torchwood Institute's underground headquarters in Cardiff, the team's edgy ensemble harnesses otherworldly technologies to battle both earthbound and extraterrestrial threats. Led by the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), the fresh-faced group includes compassionate cop Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), crack engineer Suzie Costello (Indira Varma), arrogant medic Owen Harper (Burn Gorman), computer expert Toshiko Sato (Naoko Mori), and jack-of-all-trades Ianto Jones (Gareth David Lloyd). Together, they face unbelievable challenges as they put themselves in harm's way to protect the human race from danger. This collection presents all 13 episodes of the British sci-fi drama's debut season.

Torchwood: Season One - Sexy, Dark, and Dangerous
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: great characters, good stories, intriguing new aliens, good continuity
Cons: more time spent on the characters than the aliens and other crisises
Bottom Line: I don't guarantee you'll like this if you like the new Doctor Who, but I suggest you check it out if you can handle the adult themes.

TORCHWOOD: THE COMPLETE FIRST SERIES - All Grown Up (and No Where To Go)
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: More John Barrowman, more Captain Jack backstory!
Cons: Unnecessary sex and swearing added simply to seem "adult".

A weak start to a series that has so much potential and yet manages to piss it all away.

Sex, Drugs, Violence, and Monsters Flame Out in Torchwood
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: several excellent episodes, most of the time travel works, pretty good special effects
Cons: sensationalistic, many episodes dreadful, often goes for sex and violence over story
Bottom Line:
When Torchwood gets it right it can be brilliant. When it doesn't, it's dreadful. Be ready to wade through the muck and the mud to find the gems.
