Title: Torchwood
Post by: Beefy on September 10, 2007, 06:51:03 AM
Anyone else catch the premiere episode?  Not bad, holds some promise.  The lead guy's acting ability is a bit grating, like he's channeling Tom Cruise when Cruise is just coasting on his charisma (i.e. Cocktail).  Otherwise, it's a bit like Men in Black, but without the sense of humor.

I'm watching the second episode now. The lead has a slight Tom Cruise vibe without the creepiness factor.

He's very Tom Cruise.

Be careful to not watch the edited version.  Apparently BBC America broadcasts two versions.

Have started season two.  I bet this show is a blast to work on.

I love this show.  The bloopers are great because you see him slip out of his American accent and I certainly have a thing for Scotsmen.  It makes me happy when a show can spawn another the way Doctor Who did with this, and pull it off pretty well.
