Torchwood TV Show - Torchwood Television Show - Yahoo! TV

I thought the idea was new but weird. I don't understand why every show needs a gay couple i thought they were tring too hard and the acting was very slow and incredibly wordy. They could have done better with all the pubicity really i expected a better follow thru. I love sci-fi and this was a little below standard.

If there is a hall of shame for bad tv shows, Torchwood would easily receive the most nominations. A fine mess of bad acting and poor scripts wasted on a good premise. When two of the main cast are killed off this early either the show is tanking in the ratings or the actors want out, in this case it's likely both. So bad in fact that CBC Canada, which co-financed the first season dropped it from their schedule.
Well if you can't write a good story just fall back on the tired cliches of sex and profanity, sure that must be what makes this an adult show, to hell with the script, let's give the kids a reason to tune in between the nightime aerial shots of Cardiff, the annoying mosquito buzz sound effect or driving around Wales in the super secret SUV with Torchwood written on it.
Ok Tosh, the government is spending $2.95 on our organization which is dedicated to reverse engineering alien technology. You have an alien necklace that allows the owner to read minds, the greatest discovery of the 21st century, but heck if you feel like stomping on it go right ahead.
Ok Susie, the vehicle you're driving has a tracking device so no matter where you go I'll find you.
Any other show that line would be laughed at, but in Torchwood it works, and the reason is because Torchwood is a stupid show and it's supposed to be. It's almost as if the producers were saying, let's put the biggest pile of dreck on TV and see if the sheep will actually watch it. Heck, they watch people falling into mud and getting their hair set on fire, why not this?
Aside from the bad production, here's the reason why Torchwood fails:
Within the premise of a science fiction show all manner of craziness çan occur. Monsters, alien invasion, teleportation, the dead rising from the grave etc. But to make it work, at the center of all the phenomenon you have to have a cast of credible believable characters.
That's what make science fiction work, the combination of the believable and the fantastic. Science and fiction.
Where the producers of Torchwood dropped the ball is that not only does the viewer not believe in the aliens, you don't believe in the Torchwood staff either.
