I agree. I was hoping for a lot more than I've got so far. The potential is there but they're just not fulfilling it.

What Torchwood desperately needs is depth - nuances, layers, development, characters who aren't just complex, but grow.

Yes. I need some follow up to what's happened to them so far and some background as to how the others came to be there, not just Jack and Gwen.

The bleakness is a standard of British SF. I think Dr Who is rather the anomaly in having a lighter touch, but shows like Survivors and Blake's 7 brought new meaning to bleak, so RTD may be following in their tradition.
