It has some really good episodes but also some trully dire ones. It's worth watching but don't expect it to set your world alight. At times it seems to indulge in nakedness and sex scenes because it can rather than because they make sense.
I think that is because it was made by the same people who made Doctor Who, where they are not allowed to show sex and blood to any great extent. All that pent up energy went into Torchwood. It is especially dire in the first season.
The third season Children of Earth (only five episodes long and broadcast one day after the other) is very good and if they can keep up that standard in the new season I'd be very happy.
See, I like the concept of Children of Earth. It was very well constructed, very interesting, very ... good. But Jack cannot hold a series on his own, and ...
Torchwood, more than Doctor Who, suffers from bad actors. Ianto and Tosh excepted.
I'd start with Doctor Who, it's much better.
It is.

So, I just started watching Torchwood. Easy question inside.

I'm definitely down with the humor and tongue in cheek I've seen so far.

You don't have to watch Dr. Who first. Torchwood stands well on its own.

That's the kind of thing that would be fun to p/u on when watching Torchwood, for me anyway.

I'll definitely be on the lookout. That was probably the best of season 1.
