Top Five Flaws In Torchwood

In early interviews, series creator Russell T. Davies described Torchwood as The X-Files meets This Life - though he now shies away from the comment, presumably to let the new brand stand apart from its influences.

So... what's gone wrong so far?

5. The most interesting "regular" died in the first episode.
4. Fun-loving Jack Harkness from Doctor Who is traumatised here.
3. Despite the sex and swearing, it still feels like children's television.
2. Torchwood has neat corporate branding for a secret organisation!
1. Jack's car has go-faster lights in the front windscreen.

Torchwood is perfectly fine filler while we wait for the next instalment of real Who but I do hope Mr. Davies isn't spending too much time on ideas for Series Two. At this rate, it'll be time wasted.
