The stakes can still get heavy, and the characters still have runaway libidos, but the execution is more assured and self-aware. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune 01/16/2008
Even the mildest fan of outer space adventures should enjoy the return of the cheeky British series "Torchwood." Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 01/16/2008

Torchwood can be jolly, if winceable, fun, but it's also tonally weird. Go to Full Review Cal Kemp Collider 04/01/2020
This is probably the best sci-fi show currently on television. Go to Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 04/01/2020
How this season ends is one of the more daring directions I've ever seen an ongoing series turn in. Go to Full Review Evan Sawdey PopMatters 04/01/2020
The Torchwood writing staff have truly come into their own, adding plots with deeper philosophical substance, developing relations between team members, and even writing wittier one-liners. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/01/2020 this is much better than the 1st season with the beginning and the finale being the best of the season but contains some pretty bad episodes such as Adrift. we also get to know more about Jack's Backstory. See more Michael R @Michael211 01/23/2020 Surprisingly Dark cousin to Dr.Who. Much more adult, much more grabbing. Bumps into actual horror at times. Loved it. See more 01/22/2020 You will laugh, you will cry, you will love every second of this wonderful second series. Utterly amazing and tragic. See more 05/31/2018 This is the good climactic version to the sires and i would recommend it to people in the us, uk, ca, and Au See more 03/07/2016 Honestly this is my favorite show, and my favorite season. The way RTD writes never fails to amaze, confuse, and bring laughter to me. The side characters get more depth in this season– mostly Ianto and Toshiko more than the last season. The show as a whole is pretty diverse, and features casual LGBT* relationships that arent just there for viewer count. It's really an amazing show and I completely recommend it if you're in to half comedic, half existential and creepy scifi themes. See more Read all reviews
