Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: In many ways a far more experimental and variable series than the show it spun out of, Torchwood demonstrates many of the qualities of Doctor Who, but has certainly developed a tone all of its own.
Season two finds the Torchwood team still under the pavements of Cardiff, and still led by John Barrowman’s Captain Jack Harkness. But there’s a lot going on this second series, with a variety of guest stars--including Alan Dale (yup, Jim Robinson from Neighbours), James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Richard Briers--along with the arrival of Freema Agyeman’s Martha Jones. There are also a variety of intriguing threats that the Torchwood team face, and while the tempo is often uneven, at worst it’s always interesting.
What’s more, Torchwood isn’t afraid of pulling its punches. Unpredictable at times, right through to the explosive final episode, this second season is an improvement on the show’s already-impressive debut. And while it sometimes makes familiar mistakes as it tries to play to a more mature audience, it nonetheless feels riskier than before, and better for it. Furthermore, where they take it now for season three is a fascinating proposition: fortunately, there’s plenty of rewatch value in the show’s second series to cover the wait to find out. --Jon Foster

Well, here it is
Torchwood Series 2, heres my review.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: 9/10: Jack and the team investigate a suspicious death, Jack thinks he knows what it is, his old friend (well, boyfriend), Captain John Hurt who appears to have knolledge about a boy called Gray.
Sleeper: 8/10: Burglars become scared after they try to burgle a house and the residents come home only to discover that they are aliens. Torchwood investigate them and discover a horrible truth.
To the Last Man: 9.5/10: I gave this wpisode 9/10 because it made me a bit happy to see Tosh find true love with a WW1 soilder but there's a catch, he has to be cryogenicaly frozen after 3 weeks and go into hibernation for a year. But, Gwen sees a ghost at the ... Read More:

This series is by far better than any other TV shows, I wish Torchwood will go on forever!
There is nothing more enjoyable than to come home from a busy day at JBS (John Bentley School - a secondary school - I am in year 9), switch on the telly and watch Torchwood.
I am usually so fixated on watching that I usually sit there for hours!
GO TORCHWOOD!

Beware if you're expecting geek-fan favourites, the commentaries, on this boxed set; there aren't any.
It's almost unheard of for a box set such as this to not have any. Apologies to Auntie Beeb in advance if there just weren't any for this season. But Amazon seems to list an alternative entire Season 2 box set that isn't released yet. Could this be the edition that has all the extras? If it's the case, the BBC and 2Entertain have sunk to a new low in terms of relasing the same product twice.
Otherwise, this is an excellent season that improves enormously on Season 1. Shame this fan's experience has been let down by the DVD release.

Gwen is still annoying but is cutting out the constant yelling of "JAAACCCK" which is a major improvement.
Like Series 1, the constant sexual innuendo does start to get boring after a while. At times it appears that the references and indeed the adult-themes are forced into the story at the expense of the overall plot; for example, does anyone really get the "bloke-on-bloke" action in the first episode?
Anyway, this is still enjoyable and worth a purchase.
Looking forward to the 3rd series - anyone taking bets on Martha Jones and Mickey Smith joining Torchwood?

Is it just me or is it that sooooo much of Torchwood is about Gwen??? Is it wrong to hate her for this???
Anyway, rant over. This was a truly wicked series (Even better than the first). Clever, Fast, Emotional, Tense, Exciting, Sexy, Sad, Funny. What more can you ask for??
In my opinion, I would ask for more on Ianto. He is my favourite character, with so much potentional, and yet he is mainly ignored!!
More Ianto and Jack too. They make a cute couple. Go away Gwen, you have Rhys!!!!
Anyway, second rant over.
Long Live Torchwood
Jack & Ianto forever!!!
