2. I've yet to see the 2nd episode (the orgasm devouring monster), but
the show's creator claims Torchwood is a more mature series, for adults.

When I first heard that, I thought "Cool. Something that requires functioning brain cells." Oops. It looks like a functioning libido is mandatory, as the show's creator needs his own sister show ("Torchwood Confidential"?) to explain what the actual episode was about. Good television doesn't need a followup show explaining what it's about. :shrug: If the 2nd episode is about the influence of sex, there are rather better ways to show how society is being influenced than a monster that gets off on peoples' orgasms, good grief... )

If it wasn't for the gratuitousness, I'd say it's a show for toddlers.

Mind you, with Freema Agyeman being a cast member for series 2, maybe the show will improve. She and her character, Martha Jones, made DOCTOR WHO worthwhile again...
