Countrycide is beloved, for many the best if not one of the best and while I can certainly see it, personally speaking I am not too big on it. Don’t get me wrong it’s brilliant and very good regardless of that, certainly one of the Highlights of Torchwood Series 1, but not one where I share the same amount of love for it as many others. Although I totally get why it's beloved.
As I said, it’s excellent. Starting with its Atmosphere, which does give this Story a lot to chew on (no pun intended). The Twist and the Handling of “At the end it’s human, who can be the worst” is done very well, frankly I don’t have much if any complaints with that. Most of our leading Characters are used brilliantly throughout it. And of course the entire Torchwood meets Horror fits quite well.
It’s also one of those Stories where I feel like Torchwood is really finding its footing after a rocky Beginning.
Certainly one that can creep me out really well and maybe for that reason it’s not one which I can see myself rewatch all that much in the Future. Still a very good Episode nonetheless!
