It's sounding like MD isn't quite managing that . . . finesse? That's a good way of putting it. CoE was brutal, but it was also very Torchwood team centric, it moved quickly (both in story terms and how it was broadcast) and there was a sort of inevitability to everything - like watching a fire spread. MD is... like s big flood and you just sit there and wait to see who'll drown next. (It's 9am, I'm not sure my allegories are the best, sorry.)
Poor Torchwood--continually in the throes of growing pains. Well it *did* grow up with CoE, but I always saw it as a bit of a catch-22? It grew up, but in doing so also destroyed itself. RTD is trying to put it back together, but it's not quite working.
SO TRUE. I love when trailers reach the level of art <3 Word.
