Alien creatures, sexually ambiguous humans and the occasional pterodactyl interact in this 'Dr. Who' offshoot. A dark and splendid "Dr. Who" spinoff with overtones of "Men in Black" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Torchwood" (premiering tonight on BBC America) concerns a super-secret organization "outside the government, beyond the police" whose job it is to keep an eye on visiting aliens and, when possible, steal their stuff. Specifically, it concerns the Cardiff branch -- Torchwood Three, out of four. (The main branch has been destroyed, and another has just gone missing.) |
