Hard show to rate. Seasons 1 and 2 are a mixed bag - both have quite a few really good episodes, but also a lot of crap that made me wish I had been watching almost anything else. Season 3 is fantastic, especially the final few episodes - it's like it's a totally different show from the first 2 seasons. Season 4 feels like a different show again, but not in a very good way. I liked how season 4 had a narrative stretched over the whole season rather being so episodic like seasons 1 and 2 were, but the plot feels as though it's stretched on for more episodes than it needed to be, plus it feels very Americanised compared to the seasons that came before.
My average rating for the 4 seasons works out as 6.75/10, but I'm inclined to round down to 6, simply because I felt as though season 3 was more of an anomaly than anything.
Good show that made up from 3 season.
WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS.
THERE WAS NO SEASON 4 OF THE TORCHWOOD.
But seriously yanks, stay away from brit shows.
This show is very unbalanced. Some episodes are utter shit, while other are very polished and well filmed. This is true both for the UK version and the new Starz + BBC version.
Only exception is season 3 which was pretty intense from the beginning to the finale.
They are taking 2012 off of production but with the promise that Jack will be Back.
Episodes range from dumb to superb, but they're always interesting. Peaks in Season 3.
Watched original run. Came as a Doctoe Who fan. Likes * liked the characters - S1-3 are like marmite bad, good , great episodes. Skip the Americanised S4 - Not worth watching at all. If you do watch S4, then as most of us do just pretend it never existed and wish for a brain%* memoru* Memory wipr* wipe of S4.
The first 2 seasons are a sexually repugnant and sexually frustrated sci-fi tv show with sometimes interesting ideas for stories.
Season 3 and 4 are very good, much more mature and serious, with much better storytelling.
How can anyone like season 3? It's content for max. two episodes blown up to 5. Season 4 was ok, but I don't need another one like that. And why is the show marked as "This show has ended"?
IMHO this is an awesome tv show, even through beginning seems weird and a bit stupid. It's like doctor who, becomes better each season, but less interesting at the beginning.
Fantastic show that dipped with Miracle Day due to the major American involvement. Hopefully Series Five (whenever it finally arrives) fixes this problem!
It really IS just a spin off. Got a bit too many 'meh' moments. Good enough if you're in for brainless entertainment.
Great Sci-Fi series
I can't believe I watched this stupid show
the best I've ever seen
The series is great, I don't think I have ever cared so much about a set of characters on a show. The depth of personality and their personal struggles with how to manage self & family, the inter-connectedness and caring of the group for one another. They are cast in their roles as people with specific jobs but the series trancends that and makes you care for their person-hood not just identify with their exciting jobs.
I guess I make it sound overly touchy freely, it's not, don't shy away from this series... I simply mean to say that the plot is so incredible it's a given to watch it. It's the character development that needs praise. Season two... wow! The series starts off a bit like an adventure a week kind of romp but it starts doing season long archs. It's just such a great series and it really makes you care about what is happening to the characters, which for me is rare! There is one seen from one episode that I think will be burned in my memory till the day I day, Incredible.
If anyone watches the series and wants to know what scene it was, feel free to message me :)
awesome
Enjoyed every second of episodes
Season 1, 2 ,3 (to a lesser extend) are great but season 4 really is turning the series to explosion hell.
Anyone know if they will be doing another short season of this this year?
Seasons 1-3 were awesome but season 4 was below average becoming Americanized ruined the show a little
I WANT JACK'S COAT!!!
oh god the last episode is so freaking good!!! just enough cliff hanger!
Watched 3 episodes and had enough. Don't like it
Oh god, it was perfect the way it was, very English. But now... Sigh... Better get used to the new flavour.
Sadly, while watching Seasons 1 - 3 I thought this show was the greatest thing ever. My 2nd favorite Scifi only to Doctor Who. I sickens me to see what they've done in Season 4. They've turned it into a two bit soon to fail American scify show now. After being Starz / Americanized (and I'm an American) it has almost certainly lost 99% of it's charm. I'll watch this season in the hopes that things change but I don't see that happening.
I think it's on Starz at 11pm not BBC2, can see it in the TV guide, we have Blade Runner: The Final Cut instead.
I stopped watching this show because all I could focus on was her teeth.
Children of Earth raised the bar for this show. It was incredible...
Love children of earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show will blow your mind.

First Season is hit or miss. Second Season is a bit more consistent and overall pretty enjoyable. Third Season is some of the best stuff produced in the Doctor Who Universe. Fourth Season is way too long and has a very shitty ending.
