Thank you for making this thread and the Soho one, but I have many more thoughts on TW1 than I do on Soho so this might be lengthy, I’m so sorry–
Literally the best range ever devised by Whoniverse writers. I routinely worship my collection of Torchwood One stories. As I’ve mentioned before, I used to watch Army of Ghosts/Doomsday on repeat as a kid, in my bedroom, because the concept intrigued me so much. And then being told the Torchwood show was nothing like Torchwood in DW, by my parents, was such a killer.
I think Locker 15 and The Law Machines were both misses for me (both focused too heavily on the plot, hard to visualize) but everything else is literally perfect and without fault. And the ending of Locker 15 is…fun 
I would include ‘Art Decadence’ and ‘Double’, just as they are part of TW1 history (if I’m remembering correctly, they are TW1, pls correct me if I’m wrong). And they were both great imo.
Tommy and Ianto’s dynamic as well as the portrayal of Yvonne are both just stellar. They’re so interesting to me as they all represent a different part of the morality scale. Ianto, morally white. Yvonne, morally black. And Tommy, the morally grey. But ofc, they all serve the same Duty.
I also adore the religious undertones, in the most recent one where Yvonne mentions only following “the word of God”,
. How Ianto has a “golden aura” (possibly relating to religious undertones), on the cover of ‘Fall to Earth’, the clouds arranged like angel wings, the most recent audio where he’s offering his hand, as an opportunity towards salvation. Then ‘In The Shadows’, with him dabbling with religion and beliefs in an afterlife despite his undead/immortal co-workers. And then all this being (most likely) because of his upbringing by Torchwood One. With this contrasting to how they call Yvonne “Her Majesty” (with the Crown being the closest to God), or “The Devil”/ “666”. I can go on, there are so many little hints that I love. And then how this opposes the TW3 more pessimistic view of death, being more atheistic.
Ofc, I’m not saying that TW3 is inferior for having a more atheistic approach, but I think would rather it be more akin to Moffat’s portrayal than RTD’s portrayal of what the afterlife is. So, it’s more like I just disagree with RTD’s pessimistic approach to death that’s so prevalent in TW3. And it was so REFRESHING to start the TW1 audios which are much more spiritual. Just listen to the end of Disco, as dark as the audio is, that moment is more optimistic about what comes after-life than the eternal blackness depicted in the show.
And YESS, more Lisa would be amazing, but I’m also fine with her never returning because the characters in the range are already so great.
I’d also go on to say why I love how psychotic Yvonne is, and just how evil she can be, but that’d be a bit dark and I don’t want to go overboard with my complete defence of her character. But I will say, the only reason why TW1 fell was not a fault of her’s, but of the Doctor’s. And the fact TW1 had prior knowledge of the recession, austerity, while I obviously disagree with British imperialism, I do love the TW1 (global) realism stance in regards to foreign affairs, and alien affairs. They were completely justified in using the Sunglider (big laser weapon) against the Sycorax. 
. And it also kind of reminds me of the 3-Body Problem “Dark Forest” theory. (Brought up the recession because the ghost-shift aim was the generation of a free energy source).
Is there any way to “heart” a thread, cuz I’d “heart” this one to angrily and passionately defend this range as being the literal best-thing-ever from the non-believers (jk, obvs).
If any Torchwood branch came back in the show, I’d hope it’d be a newly formed TW1. I’d hope they wouldn’t make them out to be fascists or anything, which I fear they kinda would, but if done correctly I’d love to see the rivalries they’d have with UNIT. And at least TW1 don’t hire literal children. 
Tldr: you might regret making this post. Cuz this range is my obsession
