Noel Murray on Torchwood: Children of Earth:
Mostly, this run of Torchwood is concerned with how evil both large and small plays out in a series of selfish acts and procedural moves. In that way, Children Of Earth is like The Wire of science fiction.
Well, that’s yet another indication that I really need to check out The Wire sometime.
I don’t want to oversell it or anything, but it is the single greatest television show ever made.
