I LOVE DOOMED YURI They Keep Killing Suzie doesn't take itself too seriously and that works in its favour I think. Very few things can pull off an episode whose central conceit is "woman drugged some guy so that when she died (killed herself) eventually the team would be forced to bring her back to life" but Torchwood managed it, more or less. I had fun at least Like Liked 2 6 August 2024 · 38 words Review by WhoPotterVian 2 The first and last ten minutes of this one are great, but the rest is quite slow. There's some great character moments and brilliant pieces of dialogue, but it doesn't feel like much takes place in the narrative.

Though not exceptional, there is some fun to They Keep Killing Suzie and it, I think, plays up the fun a story like this can have. With a bit of a crime caper combined with what really is Torchwood's recurring villain, the appeal of this comes from Indira Varma and she definitely stands out as a performer enough to carry this episode, but Gwen is pretty great here too. It is a shame Suzie couldn't become a recurring threat like the show runners apparently wanted at one time until she was unavailable for series two. While I have a lot of issues with early era Torchwood, I think this is the version of the show that could have worked a lot better - a show that takes itself a little less seriously can get away with more goofy content like this and my thoughts around They Keep Killing Suzie are far more positive because of it.
