Even I think parts of Torchwood are good but, unfortunately, probably not enough, even when put together with the slightly-better-than-mediocre bits, to make a coherent story or characters. Sadface.
The hierarchy is still firmly in place on British telly. Non-white people are allowed to be main characters now but they're still killed off first after having less character development and measurably fewer lines (and usually close-ups too). Only white people and EV0L non-white people are allowed storylines. The only hint of a backstory for Tosh was when she was EV0L like Susie. /cynicism

Series 2 was still better than series 1 though. ::shrugs::
