Review of Cyberwoman by timeywimeythespian

This review contains spoilers!

I was hoping that due to it being for a more mature audience, Torchwood could fully explore the body horror of Cybermen as a concept in "Cyberwoman" in a way that its family-friendly parent show Doctor Who can't; that was not what happened. "Cyberwoman" introduces the concept of Cybermen converting full-bodies (not just brains) with a result of a human with some metal casing that's capable of expressing some emotion. Unfortunately, Lisa (the titular Cyberwoman) is horrendously objectified, turning the interesting new conversion concept into an excuse to sexualize her.
