Torchwood Returns
Fans of the dark and brooding UK scifi series Torchwood should mark their calendars. BBC America will air the special abbreviated series 3 of the hit TV show over five consecutive nights beginning on Monday, July 20th. Judging from the trailer available on the BBC America website, the 5-part mini series promises to pack quite a punch and brings familiar characters face to face with the death of fallen friends.
We’re glad Torchwood is returning, we just wish we had a full season to look forward to instead of the smaller mini-series format that seems to have swept through the dramatic worlds of Doctor Who producer Russell T. Davies like a wave of mutant Daleks. Like its spin-off companion, the new season of Doctor Who will be presented in very small chunks, spread over an entire year instead of the standard 13 or 24 episode blocks TV goers are used to. Hopefully, in the end, quality will win out over quantity.
