Torchwood: The Complete Second Season [Blu-ray]
Torchwood follows the adventures of a team of investigators, led by the enigmatic Captain Jack. Set in the UK in the present day, the team use scavenged alien technology in a very real world to solve crime; both alien and human. Separate from the government. Outside the police. Beyond the United Nations. Everyone who works for Torchwood is young, under 35. Some say that’s because it’s a new science. Others say it’s because they die young…The following are included in the second season of Torchwood: repeated bouts of unrequited love, homicidal ex-lovers, monsters from space and impending doom for major characters. Now, that’s how a series’ second season should play out! But what makes Russell T. (Doctor Who) Davies’ sophomore set of adventure for Torchwood so engaging is that he bundles them together in a tight and cohesive package that remains dramatically involving while maintaining the proper level of science fiction adventure. John Barrowman’s Captain Jack Harkness is back, having

Ten years from now this series will be as revered as the classics of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Television- Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Star Trek and Lost In Space. These stories are complex, finely written, well acted and beautifully filmed tales that combine themes of loss, tragedy, redemption and heroism. Each epsiodes exhibits a unique sense of humor and relevant topicality that never tries too hard, hence the high entertainment value in each episode. I saw these in HD on Direct TV and the quality is simply astounding and adds to the effectiveness of the entire experience. Highly recommended!

So it’s only natural that BOTH shows (Doctor Who and Torchwood) make it to a reviewer’s MUST HAVE list. Torchwood is so original and funny that it’s something that ANY True Sci-Fi Fan Must see! If you rearrange the letters… well you’ll see.
Anyway, This is a must see series, Not only are the characters and the players attractive and funny and smart and broken and sad and at times they ALL seem as unreal as “TorchWood” itself that you can’t look away. You DON’T want to. I am crossing my fingers that after “Children of Earth” they give us loyal and rabid fans everywhere even MORE!

In the second season of this Brit import we learn a bit more about Captain Jack. Also the relationship between he and Ianto is explored more. It amazes me how effortlessly Torchwood and its parent series Doctor Who mesh together. Kudos to Russell T. for this amazing show!

I love TORCHWOOD. It’s great writing, direction and acting, combined with amazing effects. I am a huge fan of Davies’ world–his DOCTOR WHO series is just tremendously fun to watch and this spin-off is just as captivating. In Season 2, Captain JAck and his crew go through a series of much more emotionally complex territory and along the way there are some nasty shocks and surprises, which keep you on the edge of your seat. I love the brilliant cast. Barrowman is simply adorable in the role of his life and everyone else is equally on par with the handsome lead. If you enjoy the new DOCTOR WHO, then this show is well worth your time! And on BLU RAY, the show looks and sounds even more amazing!

I’ll assume you’re considering this because you’ve watched Torchwood when it was broadcast on BBC America. So here’s the stories you enjoyed but: with great picture and sound quality and without the censorship – all the dialog as the writers intended 🙂
A no-brainer if you’re a fan of the series.
