This show is very unbalanced. Some episodes are utter shit, while other are very polished and well filmed. This is true both for the UK version and the new Starz + BBC version.

Only exception is season 3 which was pretty intense from the beginning to the finale.

They are taking 2012 off of production but with the promise that Jack will be Back.

First Season is hit or miss. Second Season is a bit more consistent and overall pretty enjoyable. Third Season is some of the best stuff produced in the Doctor Who Universe. Fourth Season is way too long and has a very shitty ending.

Hard show to rate. Seasons 1 and 2 are a mixed bag - both have quite a few really good episodes, but also a lot of crap that made me wish I had been watching almost anything else. Season 3 is fantastic, especially the final few episodes - it's like it's a totally different show from the first 2 seasons. Season 4 feels like a different show again, but not in a very good way. I liked how season 4 had a narrative stretched over the whole season rather being so episodic like seasons 1 and 2 were, but the plot feels as though it's stretched on for more episodes than it needed to be, plus it feels very Americanised compared to the seasons that came before.

My average rating for the 4 seasons works out as 6.75/10, but I'm inclined to round down to 6, simply because I felt as though season 3 was more of an anomaly than anything.

Watched original run. Came as a Doctoe Who fan. Likes * liked the characters - S1-3 are like marmite bad, good , great episodes. Skip the Americanised S4 - Not worth watching at all. If you do watch S4, then as most of us do just pretend it never existed and wish for a brain%* memoru* Memory wipr* wipe of S4.

Level "Interesting" • 7 :heart: • Entertaining and Good.

The first 2 seasons are a sexually repugnant and sexually frustrated sci-fi tv show with sometimes interesting ideas for stories.

Season 3 and 4 is very good, much more mature and serious, with much better storytelling.

Good show that made up from 3 season.
WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS.
THERE WAS NO SEASON 4 OF THE TORCHWOOD.
But seriously yanks, stay away from brit shows.

How can anyone like season 3? It's content for max. two episodes blown up to 5. Season 4 was ok, but I don't need another one like that. And why is the show marked as "This show has ended"?

IMHO this is an awesome tv show, even through beginning seems weird and a bit stupid. It's like doctor who, becomes better each season, but less interesting at the beginning.

Fantastic show that dipped with Miracle Day due to the major American involvement. Hopefully Series Five (whenever it finally arrives) fixes this problem!

It really IS just a spin off. Got a bit too many 'meh' moments. Good enough if you're in for brainless entertainment.

Episodes range from dumb to superb, but they're always interesting. Peaks in Season 3.
