Rendition

Rendition is the second part of Miracle Day, which I will be reviewing piecemeal to avoid getting fatigued over the thing. This episode it tightly paced and has some fun moments as Torchwood heads on over to America. It's some good action and great set-up for the story to come, even if the rest of the series wouldn't always deliver on that. Not the best but far from the worst, especially for this particular show.

They have built up a nice concept, and I like the claustrophobia of spending most of episode 2 on a plane, but even for Torchwood some of this is intolerably silly. Developing an antidote mid-air using what’s available on a plane on the advice of Doctors pulling ingredients out of the air… that’s ridiculous. And the CIA assassin was ridiculous. High drama this is not.
