You can’t say the casting crowd of Dr. Who/Torchwood are slouches in the casting department. Give Torchwood a chance. John Barrowman and the rest of the gang give great performances and dimension to the characters.
There is always BBC America on-line. I think they offer on-demand playback. Try Ultimate Force too. It is a fun over-the top “Unit” type show which I like a little better than “Unit”.
Oh, I’ve been recording Torchwood since it came on BBC America last month. I admire the BBC because they have limited money to do Hollywood-style FX and actually have to write good stories.
Of course, they can show nudity so that’s one way to get around a bad script...
