Review of Ghost Machine by dema1020
29 May 2024
A pretty solid way to soften the blow of Day One, I suppose. Not my favourite Torchwood episode, certainly, but I enjoy the stuff with Gwen and still think she is a solid part of the series' early days. Her onboarding with Torchwood is still what I take away most from these first few episodes. Owen's arc feels like we are still deep in the edge-lord tendencies of the show which is something I think a lot of the series would struggle with (outside of that one obvious exception). So it kind of left a mediocre impression on me, especially because it kind of fizzles out with an ending I found pretty silly.
