Torchwood: Random Shoes

Yet another Torchwood that wasn’t that bad. Far fewer plot holes than last week, characterisation was pretty good (bar Jack’s, of course) but a bit more boring and derivative, notably of Love and Monsters.

Did y’all like it? Do you think they’ve finally ironed out the bulk of the problems and are slowly working up to a decent TV series? Or it it fatally flawed still?

    I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
