So I finished Episode 1: Everything Changes. It’s good. I like the idea of darker, grittier series in the Whoniverse. It definitely has potential. Whereas Doctor Who is about wonder of the universe and about hope all mixed up in fun adventures where everybody usually gets a happy ending, Torchwood is much more realistic. It’s no wonder that they’re all messed up. Given access to alien tech that you don’t really understand, watching a friend commit suicide because the “job” has turned into an obsession/addiction. It’s mentioned that this stuff is kept out of the hands of the government because they’d abuse its power. And yet in this episode, we have a character corrupted by the power offered by an artifact who pays for it with her life. There is a lot of potential for interesting storytelling that the main show just can’t do. I highly doubt I’ll bother with the Torchwood audios from Big Finish (I have already listened to couple though) as there’s way too much Doctor Who that I want to get through. Anyway, I’m definitely intrigued and am interested in keeping going.
