NWR for Torchwood Miracle Day Episodes 1 & 2
Now the same rules apply as the Doctor Who reviews. Spoilers are behind the cut and in comments. However we are only discussing the first two episodes of this season. I am also putting what happened at the end of last season behind the cut because there are a couple people I know who are still catching up.
So we are two episodes into Miracle Day. This one probably had a bigger budget than the previous seasons combined. And, in some ways, it shows. It looks slicker and they have more going on in the scenes because they can afford more people.
The first episode was mostly set up for the rest of it but that’s how it usual goes when you have to introduce new viewers to the idea of the series. RTD did go against the trope and left what Torchwood is or was kind of in a grey area which makes sense because what Torchwood is exactly has always been kind of a smoke and mirrors thing. But we have the usual wacky thing happening that shouldn’t be happening which will, in the end, cause the world as we know it to end. You know a typical day at Torchwood.
The second is much more action packed and moved better but by this point we have our main characters in play and RTD is laying the threads of what will be happening.
Acting is good across the board. Nice to see old faces and some new ones as well.
After two episodes, I am along for the ride.
I am grateful to be able to watch Torchwood again.
