TORCHWOOD 4X05: "CATEGORIES OF LIFE"

By all the laws of nature, by everything that is holy, by any reasonable assessment of quality of life, Miracle Day should be put to rest. Let's stick a red clothespin on it, throw a blanket over its pathetic carcass, and roll it gently over to the incinerator to be put out of its misery.

TORCHWOOD 4X04: "ESCAPE TO L.A."

"Dead is dead," and that just about describes my interest and patience. Torchwood: Miracle Day is too stupid to take seriously, and too self-serious to be fun.

TORCHWOOD 4X03: "DEAD OF NIGHT"

I have to be honest: I'm losing my patience with this show. There is a limit to the number of programs I can watch every week—let alone write about—and unless things get better quickly, the (slowly evaporating) affection I have for Russell T Davies and the Torchwood brand isn't going to be enough to justify keeping Miracle Day in the rotation much longer.

TORCHWOOD 4X02: "RENDITION"

I'm starting to worry that Torchwood: Miracle Day might have been far better without the "Torchwood."

TORCHWOOD 4X01: "THE NEW WORLD"

Like Torchwood: Children of Earth, Miracle Day has a big, global concept at its center: what if, one day, everyone on Earth simply stopped dying?
