Heres James review…
Everything has its time and everything dies.
And then there wasTorchwood.

However, the brilliantly executedTorchwood: Children Of Earthchanged all that.
It seemed that, finally,Torchwoodhad stepped out of the shadow of its parent show.
That being the case, how do you then make this seemingly amorphous idea both present and threatening?
In contrast, the American-shot material has a look and feel that is both broader and more generic.
Despite the issues that recur during the first half of the series, there are definite high points.
Certainly the ultimate end of the series, which ends on one of Davies patented What?
What?!?What?!?
As I said at the start of this review: Everything has its time and everything dies.
Because of that, dont bet against the show making one more comeback somewhere down the line.
Its perhaps most notable for featuring formerBuffyactress Eliza Dushku as the main voice artist.
