And here I thought this was going to be an easy pass

Question: Do I want to watch Torchwood? It would be very helpful if someone on my f-list would tell me that it is smutty self-indulgent crap so that I no longer have to be tempted by the surprisingly good reviews I'm seeing elsewhere on my f-list. Thank you.

Only seen first one so far, but . . . editing is nice, camera work nice, protagonists (mostly) okay. There's a bit of emotional distance but Jack looks very very nice and the opening scene is really good.

Yeah, see, it was your review that really threw me. I thought, "Oh rats, if cryptile likes it, then it's probably actually good..."

Shucks :D

-- however, the second episode is crap, having just watched it. Self-indulgent smut that isn't terribly fun. I'd compromise and just stick with Ep 1; the teaser for next week looks good though . .
