After struggling through series one and two of Torchwood cringing along the way I finally reached Series 3, also known as Children of the Earth.
What a brilliant return to form, intrigue, action, suspense, plot oh joyous plot unfolding (previously so absent).
I'm only on Day 3 (the third episode) so I might well yet be posting a blog on how bad the ending is, after earlier disapointments I'm not going to get too excited yet.. but I have a cautious optimism based on episodes one and two. Fingers crossed.
...
Whoever directed the Day Three episode completely overused the "Zoom onto the News on TV" effect. It completely destroyed the power of such a cinematic. If used once or twice its a powerful and moving moment / gesture.. if you show it 10 or more times like in this epsiode / series.... well.
Still, managed to be good overall tho :).
Overall, Series 3 is a thumbs up :). Though, parts of it are very contrived... kids as alien drugs? hmmmm, still glossing over those types of shortcommings a great series!
