Well with how the show ends, it's just a way for TW to continue without Barrowman. The show's unique factor was

[Show spoiler]

My honest opinion of the whole 10 episodes is that it could easily have been done in 5, most of it was nonsensical rubbish meandering, a lot of it was the characters making the worst possible decisions, all the time, every time. The Welsh references were stupidly shoehorned in to the point of absurdity, nothing that happens, especially the climax (such as it is), makes much sense and directly contradicts how things have previously happened.

In short, it was utter utter crap. TW was at its heart, a quintessentially British show.

Proving once again that American producers just cannot do 'subtle' or 'British'

It had all of the flash, bang and wallop of a typically overdone American production, but none of the heart, style or soul of the original show.

It was a terrible terrible programme, with mostly empty episodes, one episode which was nothing but sex, a lead character that is a paedophile for no real reason other than to draw some attention and heat to the show, easily recognisable but stupidly wasted guest stars, a wafer thin plot that could have been cleared up in half the time, really bad (and I do mean bad) writing, and seriously bad acting (yes Mekhi Phifer, I am looking at you), all-in-all, It might have been something

...but it sure as hell was NOT Torchwood.
