Tom,
it depends on what your definition of "good" is. It isn't great. A bit predictable, and slightly boring. I've seen worse but I wasn't all that interested in it. I got as far as episode 3 or 4, but I'll be back to watch the other eps eventually.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I think People gave it a bad review, but the review was too poorly written to be able to tell why.
I saw a few reviews and they all panned it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Claudia Black was on tonight's Moonlight.
And if you get Chiller and want cheese, check out The Thirst with Tony Todd, Jason Connery, Mark Ryan, and one of my krav instructors very shirtless. It's on at 11, and possibly many times after that.

I had Moonlight as background music while I was on the computer, and as soon as I heard that voice I looked up to see Claudia Black, dressed in PVC or pleather or whatever the heck those outfits were made from. Of course she rocked the black leather as Aeryn Sun, so I guess the show's costumers were thinking they shouldn't mess with a good thing. Unfortunately she didn't get nearly enough screen time.

My love for Torchwood grows with every repeat. I wonder if it's knowing about Tosh and Owen that changes it so in retrospect. I have very little of the hesitations I had the first time round.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I liked the first season much better on rewatch. I definitely think it's knowing more about the characters that helps. And the unreasoning love.

Everything is so much sadder. Toshiko got fake or almost love two episodes in a row, and it's a sniffler.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have really enjoyed the rewatch.
I think I have Big Thinky about Toshiko, but during the fact I had a hard time vocalizing it. But now, knowing it's all going to close, it's just so interesting. I'll wait until the rewatch is complete if I can.
