I like how when Russel T. Davies wanted to do a series-long arc, he was way more subtle in his approach than Moffat or Chibnall. Like, watching Series 2, it is consistently reinforced that people across time and space lament the loss of loved ones and would do anything to speak to them again, how there is a barrier that simply cannot be crossed, and how desperate we are as a species to reach beyond the veil and make contact again with our loved ones.
And so it builds thematically, rather than literally towards the series finale. Very cool 👍
okay I might have been a little too generous because Russel does have characters very clearly say "Torchwood" at least once in every single episode. It's a lot less subtle than "Bad Wolf" was in Series 1, too. And "Bad Wolf" was a hell of a lot cooler, imo.
