Torchwood, Children of Earth...
Just finished watching the final episode. Going along liking this series and then __What da__ What kind of ending was that? The whole thing spiraled down into a pit of despair. The plot lines just didn't resolve correctly. It all leaves one feeling disconcerted and depressed. The show ended like a bloody train wreck. Some of the material covered was distressing to the extreme. Who is scarier here the aliens or the British politicians? Oddly enough the writing and acting was excellent, but I suspect the screen writers ran amok, thinking they needed to be extra clever. All they needed to do was call "the Doctor". He could have solved the whole matter with a dash of humor to boot. Kudos go to Peter Capaldi ( playing John Frobisher ) for an excellent performance, but in the end he shoots himself along with his wife and two young children. Gratuitous despair deluxe! Torchwood.
