Torchwood: Children of Earth preview

Torchwood: Children of Earth preview- I came across this on the BBC Home page.  The preview clip looks intriguing, but I want to know more.  For all you Torchwood addicts out there, the BBC has the latest Torchwood news on their site.  Their feed is also available if you want to subscribe to it.

There’s been a lot of surprisingly decent TV programmes out there, amidst all the fluff. Let’s take a look at what’s currently taking my fancy:

• I’m enjoying Family Guy as always, and recently got Blue Harvest on DVD. Hilarious.
• The new series of That Mitchell and Webb Look, which I feel has got off to a good start. Not so sure if it’s as funny as the first series though.
• I’m quite surprised that I’ve got back into Torchwood again, which is also on its second series. I actually feel that this series is even better than the first. Maybe it’s because it has more serious, impressive episodes perhaps? Thoroughly entertaining.
• Skins, series 2. I just find Skins very compelling. I’m not going to attempt to explain why, it’s just gritty and real I suppose. What strikes me is that each episode mixes light-hearted moments with moments of pure sadness and despair.
• I think I have previously mentioned that I’m really into Reaper. I’m impressed by this show’s inaugural season. I hope it may continue, but I’m not sure if the concept has long enough legs.
• As always, I’m loving Stargate Atlantis which is currently on it’s fourth season. What’s kept me hooked has been Atlantis’ increasingly darker storylines. In my mind Atlantis has always been darker than SG-1 and thus very refreshing. I’m looking forward to more!

That’s about it, I think. I have noticed though as I’ve been writing this that a lot of shows I’m watching are in their second season. Who said that TV was dead? I guess you’ve got to search for the good stuff and separate the wheat from the chaff.
