Sie bleiben unvermittelt stehen und sprechen in der gleichen Sprache denselben unheilvollen Satz: Wir werden kommen! Eine außerirdische Macht bedroht die Erde und hat sich aller Kinder bemächtigt.Sofort stellen sich die Helden von Torchwood der Situation und beginnen zuermitteln. Doch anstelle feindlicher Aliens ist es die britische Regierung, die zu ihrem erbittertsten Widersacher wird. Sie scheint als Einzige zu wissen, was vor sich geht, und versucht, ein schreckliches Geheimnis zu vertuschen. Denn bald wird klar, dass dies nicht das erste Mal ist, dass die Aliens die Erde heimsuchen? (Verleiher-Text)

Englisch Season 1 – 90% – A sci-fi show full of personal relationships on a very open level? Yes, please. I can easily forget the playful plots in blue phone booths, but Jack Harkness (with his completely different type of games) can captivate you just as quickly. And with the cynical Owen or the beautiful Gwen standing by his side, it makes for a team that is not easy to love, but I still can't resist the feeling that I would start working at Torchwood tomorrow. The simple sentence "Doctor Who is for the whole family, but Torchwood is for the adult part of the audience" is in fact very true. Season 2 – 100% – A season that hurts. These are not emotional journeys that move in favor of the series, this is ordinary life against science and routine against inevitable fate. Captain Jack sadly gazes into the future, refuses his past, and this season is so heavy with emotions and tension that I have to recognize Russell T. Davies for creating a perfectly functioning universe where the seasons complement each other perfectly and at the same time function flawlessly on their own. Children of Earth – 85% – It takes some time to get used to the new concept of a continuous arc, but the more real the threat is, and the greater the sacrifices that need to be made, the more harrowing an experience Torchwood brings this time. No false leads or forgivable missteps. Children of Earth incorporates a lot of compromises and moments when you have to give up. And counting the final losses occasionally breaks your heart. A complex experience from start to finish and sometimes (in the best way possible) hell for the viewer. Miracle Day – 100% – The culmination of everything and probably also the end of the journey. What could have been a half-hearted restart ends up being more of a final farewell because the American audience refused to participate in Davies' lauded yet uncompromising ride. Nevertheless, Miracle Day is a perfectly constructed mosaic of new characters (the best for me being Rex, played by the tough Mekhi Phifer), the consequences of the past, and evidence that intricate storylines can lead somewhere slightly unexpected. The biggest success, however, is surprisingly Gwen, who in the role of an uncompromising leader overshadows even the radiant Jack Harkness. Torchwood is thus forced to exit as the perfect series, separated from the highest ranks in my personal hierarchy of TV series by that tangible depression that occasionally digs into the viewer in unexpected situations and painful twists. But anyone who breathes through this easier than me has no choice but to fall in love. ()
