Since I don't expect to re-watch these in the future, I might as well give them a post now.

Title: Torchwood: Season One & Season Two

Network: BBC
Creator: Russell T. Davies

Episodes: 13 per season, at 50 minutes
Synopsis: a secret government agency uses scavenged extraterrestrial technology to fight aliens
How I saw it: streaming online (I think), 2007 and 2008
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay).
Objective Rating: 7/10 (points off for story, pacing and cinematography) c. 2.4/4 (Okay).

Like I said in the last post: occasionally entertaining but more often just badly-written fluff.  John Barrowman can't act, but everyone else is fine.
