Torchwood Season 2 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Torchwood Season 2 treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. The second season takes the Torchwood team through dare-devil action, temptation, heartache, and a life-changing event. They journey to the 51st Century and World War I, save a stranded creature from horrific abuse, battle a memory thief who uncovers long-forgotten secrets among the entire team, and come face-to-face with an entity that may well be Death itself. And slick Captain Jack returns to battle a rogue Time Agent, the charismatic-but-psychopathic Captain John Hart. John Barrowman and Eve Myles lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2008. Torchwood Season 2 resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

A contained run means every episode is doing real work. John Barrowman's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
