 Gets Better as it Progresses May 4, 2008
XTG (UK, England)
If you love Doctor Who, you'll love this.
However, if you any very young children, don't let them watch it, as it is full of sex, artirial spray, and expletives.
Best for teenagers and adults.
Torchwood is a crime, thriller, sci-fi show: many great genres in one series.
Yet the best episode, Small Worlds, doesn't really involve much crime at all...it's about fairies.

OK, so I know as a Torchwood fan how mixed the reviews are, but in light of it's iminent return I thought I'd add my opinions.
Torchwood was meant to be the more adult version of Doctor Who. It has achieved this, in Sci-Fi terms at least. There's sex, guns and violence. There's homosexuality, there's adultery, there's plenty of snogging, basically. Torchwood employee's seem to be obligated to snog their boss/colleauges a lot.
But once you get past a few dodgy episodes (Sex gas, anyone?) Torchwood comes into it's own. The first DVD, this one, is a good introduction, but I would urge anyone who watches it not to judge it just on what you see here. As the series goes on, the episodes get steadily better.
The first series of Torchwood was entertaining, but also a learning experience for the writers and producers. We've learnt things such as we now realise Chris Chibnall should never be allowed to write episodes.
I'd reccomend Torchwood less to hardcore Sci-Fi fans, who will probably be very dissapointed, but more to people who are fans of Doctor Who, but would like to experience something less aimed at children.
I can only see Torchwood improving in it's second series, and as long as Chris Chibnall is allowed as little control as possible, it should be great!
 Problem in Episode 1 December 2, 2007

When I was watching Episode 1 and when I came to a certain scene it suddenly froze and then went on to another part of the episode. I would it annoying and reduced my entertainment pleasure. I am just wondering if it happened to anyone else.
I hope this review was helpful?

Sorry J. Punter "jeff punter", but if you type 'torchwood' into the DVD search engine on AMAZON.CO.UK, you'll see there is a complete series coming out in November. I think they only put it one a couple of days ago though :-( Meanwhile, I love Torchwood and i'm looking forword to another series with Jack, Gwen, Owen, Tosh, Ianto and for 3 episodes MARTHA JONES! WooHoo!
