Re: Torchwood: Children of Earth

[(Anonymous)]

It's not terrible or anything. I would go ahead and give it a shot

Probably the thing I like least about it is that it's just...not fun. I liked Torchwood because it was goofy and didn't usually take itself too seriously but CoE is quite different from that. It's also depressing right off the bat because you're like "Oh shit, Tosh and Owen are dead aren't they?".

Still, I would say that the story line was interesting and I found it at least somewhat compelling most of the time. But you're right that a lot of people had very different reactions to it, so I think the only way you'll find out if you'll like it is if you watch it yourself. It can't hurt

Yeah, I agree in this case. CoE is just one of those things where a lot of people hated it for the same reasons that other people loved it. For example, I saw a lot of fans who approved the fact that CoE let Torchwood shed most of its campyness in exchange for a more consistently serious and dark storyline. For other fans, they found that to be the biggest mistake that could have been made regarding Torchwood.

Yeah, I think that's why I really disliked it. Coming after the season two finale, AND with the events of CoE... well, I was watching Torchwood because it wasn't totally grimdark, and I loved the team dynamic. So when you kill off three out of five members of the team? It just basically destroys my interest, and that's on top of the horrifically depressing plot. I didn't even bother with Miracle Day, because what was the point? There was very little in there that made it Torchwood.

Yeah - you should just give it a shot, OP. Personally, I liked it, but I can understand why a lot of people didn't. Maybe I just liked it because my favourite character is Gwen, and CoE had a lot of her. Or maybe because I liked the moral conflict in it. These might be the same aspects that other people hated.

In any way, there are a lot of aspects to it that are YMMV, and people's reactions vary. That's okay; we're not a homogenous blob. People have different preferences. Probably the only reason it caused so much wank is that it is different in tone to the original Torchwood, so the people who disliked it felt shafted.
