The third season of Torchwood is coming and the millions of fans around the world are increasingly anxious.

For those who do not know, Torchwood, produced by the BBC, is one of the best shows of today’s science fiction that has its focus on extreme situations with which humanity is facing, but not always able to see with clarity.

The idea is not exactly original, but its presentation is entirely new. In the nineteenth century, the Queen Victoria secretly created an organization called “Torchwood” with the sole purpose of recovering items aliens and use them for the good of the British Empire.

The series has 5 central characters. Each of them has different agendas, their relationships are both external as internal oscillating because often they engage in moral disputes.

It is one of the few shows that bring to light topics as suicide, euthanasia, existentialism, nihilism, the power as an instrument of corruption, life after death (more specifically: lack of life after death – A recurring theme in Torchwood is the fact that “when you die, everything ends, there is nothing but darkness), secret identities and homosexual relationships.

Finally, a series far above the common, especially for those who like to be challenged by intelligent scripts and complex plots.
