Torchwood Season 2

Beginning this week in the UK and Jan 26th in the US is the second season of Torchwood.

Last year the first season gathered the highest viewing figures ever seen on BBC America (admittedly not a really big deal given that a majority of the channel’s programing consists of home repair shows), which has resulted in the first near-simulcasting of a BBC sci-fi program since the 20th anniversary Doctor Who special The Five Doctors.

By far, a much better quality show in my opinion compared to the new Doctor Who, Torchwood consists mainly of rain-slicked streets and ‘beautiful people’ striking poses and facing off against strange aliens. This season looks like it will be taking the drama up a notch as well as introduce new characters including the too-charming for his own good James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame.

Ofcourse an added surprise is the addition of Martha Jones from season three of Doctor Who.
