Synopsis
Torchwood follows the adventures of a team of investigators, led by the enigmatic Captain Jack. Set in present-day Britain, the team use scavenged alien technology in a very real world to solve crime - both alien and human. Separate from the government. Outside the police. Beyond the United Nations. Everyone who works for Torchwood is young - under 35. Some say that's because it's a new science. Others say it's because they all die young....

Volume 3 of this exciting Doctor Who spin-off finds philanderer of the future Jack Harness arriving in contemporary Cardiff and being inducted into the Torchwood agency. Episodes include "Out of Time", "Combat", "Captain Jack Harkness" and "End of Days".

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a look even if you're a Dr Who fan or not, 25 Jun 2007
By Sarah Wood (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've enjoyed this series throughout mainly because of the character of Capt Jack Harkness who becomes more mysterious throughout despite the more we learn about him.

Although the series had some disappointing episodes and a little bit too much sex thrown in at times, the series was interesting, compelling and dark. i enjoyed it more on a second watching, as soon as Captain Jack rejoined the Doctor recently i had to watch it again because even when it was disappointing the links to doc who(the hand, cyberwoman, vote Saxon posters etc.)and jacks character make you think.

The last two episodes on this were the best by far, they kept me hooked throughout, made me cry a few times and left me wanting more. i do hope they make another series and learn from the mistakes made in the poorer episodes, even if part of me does want Jack to stay with the doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series, 23 Sep 2007
By Stephen L. Spero (San Diego, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I live in San Diego, California. I go to this huge convention here called Comic-Con each July. This year they had a presentation on Torchwood. I immediatly ordered the series from Amazon (I have a region free player), and have been very impressed by it. The writing has been fantastic, and the actors are all excellent. I do hope that they do a second season.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of the series - but what's that familiar thing?!!, 24 April 2007

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
A great end to a great series. I've given the other two DVD releases of Torchwood series 1 four stars each. But I feel this deserves the full five stars.

The first episode of this DVD release wasn't the best, there seems to be a bit of a plot hole around the time hole, but it did have some magnificent moments. Particularly those between John Ellis and Captain Jack where they open up and talk openly about suicide. The way this deals with the social aspect of being several decades ahead of your own time saves the episode. It gives it a really interesting spin and makes the episode so compelling to watch.

Combat was a phenomenal episode! I love the Weevils and this was an episode where they took centre stage. Weevils are hideous, but this episode makes you pity them and will them 'to win'. This was Owen's episode too. I like Owen in this series, his cocky, light hearted persona contrasts well with Jack's dark mystery and Gwen's down-to-earthness.

I don't want to spoil anything by talking about the last two episodes, so I'll leave them alone. All I'll say is that you learn more about Captain Jack, and you might hear a familiar noise!
