nonionay | Torchwood...question? (Reply)

Finally got around to watching the first disk of Torchwood. Now, dear Livejournal, tell me... I watched the first season of the new Doctor Who, and was horrified, and then informed that Season 2 was better. This turned out to be true. Is Torchwood like that? Because, while there a lot of awesome in there, it was kind of drowned out by the fact that everyone's a sexist incompetent asshole and proud of it. One or two of these things is fine, especially if they play it for laughs. If they'd established that everyone was new at this and had no idea what they were doing, then I would have loved that they were clearly incompetent versions of Men In Black. You know, just getting their bearings through trial and error. But I think we're supposed to think they're as cool as they seem to think they are. The line between informal and unprofessional is a thin one, but I don't think Torchwood is aware exactly how far on the wrong side of that line they're on.

I know a lot of you love it, and I really, really want to love it. Please, help me.
