Re: Torchwood: Children of Earth

Children of Earth was objectively well-done, I think. Fascinating story, great acting, suspenseful pacing, compelling moral conflicts, the works. But it exhausted all my emotional investment with its sheer cynicism. When it was over, I just didn't care anymore, not about the surviving characters, and not about Torchwood as a concept. I couldn't watch Miracle Day after that, even though it seems objectively interesting, too.

To be fair, the show had been sliding deeper into a pit of bleakness (for me, maybe other people weren't affected) for awhile before Series 3. Children of Earth just put a bullet in its head.

Yeah. A lot of people raise a stink about how CoE was such an unwarrantedly bleak turnaround from what TW was before, which always confused me because it had been pretty fucking depressing for a while before CoE -- it's just that before CoE, there was enough goofiness and fun and Doctor-Who-ish-ness to suggest that maybe the fun could override the bleakness, and CoE just made the "lol no it won't" definite.

Actually come to think of it, Doctor Who had been pretty much on the same track until Series 5 came along. Maybe RTD was going through a bad time...
