Review - Torchwood: The Blood Line

[ed_rex]

Where have you gone, Russell T, Russell T?

 

One of the most shockingly bad television series in recent memory crawled to a bloody close on Friday night.

The end of Torchwood: Miracle Day was not quite as obscenely amusing as some had predicted, but its climax prompted laughter in this reviewer, not tears.

No dangling plot-lines were tied up, no extraneous characters rescued from irrelevancy. The program is over — and so too, probably, is the franchise — but not even the most generous critic could with a straight face say that it was concluded.

Snark? Oh yes. For snark and bullet points and a reviewer's exhausted post-mortem, visit, Where have you gone, Russell T, Russell T?

I have yet to see the final episode (Thursday for me) but I couldn't resist a peek at the spoilery review.

I am totally not comfortable with a child-rapist and murderer being some kind of hero. I don't care that he's played by Bill Pullman - I'd like to remember him for Independance Day!

Predictable, much?

Totally belittling Rose as Bad Wolf and how she made Jack and his sudden immortality a fixed point in time, much?

Why is it that I desperately want Jack, Rhys, PC Andy and Rex sent over to Moffatt's Doctor Who for saving? Torchwood *really* should have died with CoE. I haven't even been able to *like* Jack throughout this train-wreck!
