From the Torchwood Institute's underground headquarters in Cardiff, the team's edgy ensemble harnesses otherworldly technologies to battle both earthbound and extraterrestrial threats. Led by the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), the fresh-faced group includes compassionate cop Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), crack engineer Suzie Costello (Indira Varma), arrogant medic Owen Harper (Burn Gorman), computer expert Toshiko Sato (Naoko Mori), and jack-of-all-trades Ianto Jones (Gareth David Lloyd). Together, they face unbelievable challenges as they put themselves in harm's way to protect the human race from danger. This collection presents all 13 episodes of the British sci-fi drama's debut season. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Separate from the government, outside the police, beyond the United Nations, Torchwood sets its own rules. Led by the enigmatic, ever watchful Captain Jack Harkness, the Torchwood team delves into the unknown and fights the impossible. Everyone who works for Torchwood is young. Some say that's because it's a new science. Others say it's because they die young.

    The show can be summed up in a single exchange between the flirty Captain Jack and audience surrogate Gwen. 'I'm getting tired of following you,' says Gwen. 'No you're not,' Jack replies. 'And you never will.' [Blu-ray]
