One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging — they get hurt and sick — but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?”, he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.
This looks great. Very filmic. Make sure you watch it to the end: “I’m Welsh!” Whap.
Clearly, Starz has higher production values than the BBC. Its other high profile f/sf show, Cameldung Camelot might be terrible, in terms of storytelling, but it is most definitely pretty. So I’ll be there when this premieres on July 8th.

That almost makes me want to get cable back. More Eve! The CIA agent was seen previously in Lie To Me as the FBI agent attached to the Lightman Institute. (Is this the new thing, British shows set in America? Doctor Who, Torchwood…)
Mark, actually I'm not sure what to make of this trailer. It feels rather generic, lacking in the edges (sharp and rough) of the filmed-in-Cardiff TV show. Who is the POV character? I have a sorta sinking feeling. But, hey, I'll watch it and see.
I'm really disappointed with Camelot. I had such high hopes for it. Ah well…at least Game of Thrones is riveting. I may give Torchwood a go. I didn't particularly like the BBC version of it though.
Michael, yes, GoT is fab. Camelot not so much. I loved the BBC Torchwood.
That was great! “I'm Welsh.” Whap! Very Aud.
But does it makes sense to shoot people who can't die?
No Starz on ours,* so I may have to negotiate with hubby for a cable package revamp. Loved the BBC series.
*sorry, couldn't help the lame Seuss reference :P
