Torchwood: Countrycide

*** CONTAINS SPOILERS ***
After the last episode, it’s straight back to pretentiousness again.

The whole team go on a camping trip, without any thought as to how their base can continue without any of them there. Who on Earth is supposed to be guarding the Weevil? (I’m past wondering why it’s even being held captive now)

The only good thing I could find here was the courage to make an episode without any sf content. Good call.

Gwen sleeping around with her colleagues behind Rhys’ back just makes her even harder to sympathise or identify with.

Note to the writer though: swearing, violence and sex doesn’t make the programme look mature. It makes it look like it’s been made by teenage students.
