Question 7 is ambiguous, really, since you don't specify which of the reactions you mean - I think it got some good reactions because it had an openly bisexual lead and was open about everything, sexually, but it got bad reactions because the writing, plotting, direction, production and most of the acting was overwhelmingly shite.

I stopped watching Torchwood early on because they took a character who was fun and playful and dangerous and sexy when in Who and forget how to write him, and then surrounded him with a cast of characters whose main features were being annoying and dislikeable, and pretend they were an adult show by taking this bunch of utter incompetents and having them all have lots of sex. I'm not really isnulted by the suggestion that my dislike is due to homophobia, because to come to that conclusion you must be so in love with Torchwood and blind to its failing that we're never going to see eye to eye.

I have heard that S2 of Torchwood is now more like mediocre than actually bad, so I'll probably give the Martha episodes a try.
