In an American prison child killer Oswald Danes is given a lethal injection but fails to die. CIA agent Rex Matheson is one of several severely injured hospital patients who should be dead but survive. The phenomenon is worldwide and the press dub it Miracle Day,when no-one dies. Rex's colleague Esther Drummond attempts to contact the long disbanded Torchwood and is visited by Jack as a result. The pair survive an attack by a bomber - after Jack - whilst the bomber, though blown to bits, goes on breathing. Gwen and Rhys Williams are living in seclusion in Wales with their baby when Gwen's old colleague Andy tells her that her father Geraint is one of the sick people who cannot die and that the world will be over-populated in a matter of days. Rex and Jack arrive in Wales to bring Gwen back to the States with them. Written by don @ minifie-1
The premise of the first episode seemed intriguing and had this been any of the other series of Torchwood I would have been excited and looking forward to watching how the story played out. Unfortunately, however, after watching the first episode I no longer have any intention of following through with the rest of the series. The Americanisation of the show means it has lost all of it's original charm, that revolved around British locations and landmarks that we knew and recognised and familiar British faces as cameos. The first episode was jam-filled of clichés, incessant over-acting and the non-stop gun slinging that reminded me more of a cheap Hollywood action movie than the Doctor Who spin-off the British audience has grown to love. Such a shame for it to end on this point, I'm just going to pretend that Torchwood ended after series three. Plus, since I was shown almost the entirety of the season in the 'next time' at the end of episode one series four, there really is no point watching more anyway.
