(TV REVIEW) TORCHWOOD: Children of Earth

I FINALLY got around to watch Torchwood: Children of Earth last week and I have to say that I loved it. Torchwood is one of those shows that grew on me after a while. For those that do not know, Torchwood is a spinoff series from Doctor Who (Torchwood is actually an anagram for Doctor Who) that follows the adventures of Captain Jack Harkness and his crew of misfits that help solve the intergalactic problems that plague this world. The Torchwood team has lost almost all of its members over the course of the series. They are down to three members. Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper and Jack Harkness and must find a way to save the children of the earth from an alien threat.

Storyline: On a day like almost any other day, we see a few children stop what they are doing and stare blankly at nothing. This catches the concern of many officals but the concern is intensified when it happens again... but this time the children speak. In unison the children of Earth began chanting "WE ARE COMING". The world is in shock and in a panic to get answers. When it is discovered that an alien race is using the children to deliver their message, Torchwood springs into action to find a way to stop this event.

Thoughts? A very cool 5 part mini-series. I think that anyone that like scifi should check this out on netflix. While you are at it you can watch all of the Torchwood seasons there too (except for Miracle Day).

  1. Be prepared to cry, especially after what happens to Captain Jack and what he has to sacrifice to save everyone.
