in Review: Torchwood - Episode 1: Everything Changes on Is There Food?
Jack Standing up on the building.
I think its possibly meant to be more of a symbolic shot, possibly representing the fact Jacks a kind of Sentinal for the city. Always looking and seeking out threats that crop up over the city.
It did look unashamedly cool in some ways, how many other Brit TV series do you see where the leading man stikes poses in such a way.

On Torchwood as a whole.

More Gritty, darker and aimed at older audiences (AT LAST!)
Yes there are some quirks and annoyances. The Dr Owen character is too annoying and makes childish comments, was he a trainee doctor before being plucked into Torchwood.
But it is good to see him get put down by the other characters. Gwen is a necessary way of introducing the viewer to Torchwood but she does seem a little out of depth. Only a handful of members for such an organisation, it seems like the torchwood is skeleton crew numbers! Surely there should be more cast, even supporting cast members. Not even extras to bolster the numbers!
Overall though, until now we haven't seen Brit Sci Fi looking this good. Its a good break from Dr Who, which though I loved it, it was too wishy washy and kiddish.
Not since Blakes 7 has Brit Sci Fi been this good and aim at adult audiences.

Lets hope we see more improvement in Episode III.
