I've had people tell me Torchwood isn't that great. Any truth to this?
Series 3 is, sincerely, one of the best-written programmes the BBC's seen, and was highly acclaimed both critically and publically.
Series 1 is patchy with moments of great aceness, and series 2 is ace with moments of great patchiness. Series 3 is drastically different, and dwarves both, whereas the new series - two episodes in - appears to kind of bridge S2 and S3, tonally.
Lots of good stuff in all series, but it took them a little while to iron out the dodgy bits. I'd recommend S3 to absolutely anyone, series 2 to any Doctor Who fan, and series 1 to anyone who doesn't mind sifting through the awfully tacky to find the awfully good.

Well, I haven't seen the first two, but I watched series 3 the other day and it was great. In my opinion any one of the episodes could easily stand up against some of the better ones from series 1-4 of Doctor Who.
Also, is anyone else really interested in the fact that at around 27 seconds into the trailer River is wearing an eyepatch similar to Madame Kovarian's? Obviously we can only speculate as to why but I have feeling that it might be important. Thoughts?
Madame Kovarian looks very young in one clip, too. Lots of eyepatches in the trailer. I'm sure they're not just for the characters' health.
