The best series EVER! - By: lukesterator, 06 Aug 2008
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 amin year 9), switch on the telly & watch Torchwood.
I am usually so fixated on watching that I usually sit there for hours!

GO TORCHWOOD!

Where are the commentaries? - By: I. Williamson, 22 Jul 2008
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 Beebin 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 & 2Entertain have sunk to a new lowin 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.

Getting better, but could be so much better!! - By: Mr. Anton Roe, 05 Jul 2008
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 & 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" actionin the first episode?

Anyway, this is still enjoyable & worth a purchase.

Looking forward to the 3rd series - anyone taking bets on Martha Jones & Mickey Smith joining Torchwood?

Why so much Gwen??? - By: H. Trivass, 02 Jul 2008
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, & yet he is mainly ignored!!

More Ianto & Jack too. They make a cute couple. Go away Gwen, you have Rhys!!!!

Anyway, second rant over.

Long Live Torchwood
Jack & Ianto forever!!!

This review is for the actual dvd content - By: Mr. D. New, 01 Jul 2008
The second series of Torchwood marks a distinct improvement on the rather patchy first series. I won't go into plot details as other reviewers have already done that. Instead I will concentrate on the dvd set itself. The packaging is rather cheap looking & is made from cardboard with an awful red cover with just the Torchwood logo on it. The main let down for me is there are no audio commentary tracks on any of the episodes. One of the highlights of the first series dvd set was the highly entertaining commentary tracks by cast & crew. Why BBC dvd havn't included them on this release is beyond me. What you do get is some deleated scenes (always welcome), out-takes, a Captain Jack doccumentary & the Torchwood Declassified (regretfully the cut down versions). So allin all a pritty good dvd set episode wise but not the most exciting extras ever. Oh, & don't let the garish packaging put you off either.
