I rather like this one. I do like Suzie a lot. I can’t wait to dive more into her audio realeases.

This is one of the better TW episodes from season 1. I think that Suzie is an interesting character, and I like that she and Gwen share the screen together a lot in this one. I also think that the plot works quite well, even if I feel that they could have used the glove in some other episodes. The only thing I don’t understand is why she also had a thing for Owen. To me, the most unrealistic part of the show is that all the women of Torchwood are attracted to that pile of garbage… at least he is not in the episode that much, and that is a plus!

This episode is good, but not quite the brilliant thing I remember it being. It’s honestly quite small-scale and slow in the middle, but it’s also a fascinating character drama. It’s probably one of the least outlandish episodes of Series 1.

7/10

They Keep Killing Suzie is an intriguing, continuity-rich episode that builds on past events to tell a smaller, more introspective tale. While it doesn’t fully lean into its potential for high drama, it succeeds in reinforcing the moral ambiguity of Torchwood’s work and the weight of their decisions. Suzie’s return offers a compelling—if underdeveloped—look at a former team member left behind, while the episode as a whole highlights Torchwood’s ongoing struggle with the consequences of their own actions.

This one’s fun and the flirting over her dead corpse scene is a great ending.

I do love Suzie as a character too. There’s nothing wrong about this episode.

Gwen for sure wishes she could bring her back one last time to kill her again

I really like this episode. A highlight is Suzie kissing Gwen at the docks, showing that truly ever Torchwood character is bisexual.
