Torchwood does Lovecraftian horror. Horrific. Pessimistic. Makes me want to never have kids. Poor Gwen, Jesus Christ. 10/10 the exemplary Torchwood story I'd show somebody if they asked me what Torchwood was like.

Chibnall is a fantastic writer when he does adult drama so why he went the CBBC route with his era of Doctor Who (not 42 or The Stolen Earth/Cold Blood - those were great) is beyond me. It could have been dark and nuanced. The dude clearly understands how to sculpt 3-dimensional characters and tense interpersonal conflict so why were Graham and Ryan so generic, flat and unmemorable? Something isn't adding up here. I've loved the exploration of the team's relationship dynamics with each other in all of his episodes (yes including Cyberwoman) it's just so... incongruent with what 13's era became
