Torchwood's not as good as DW on the whole, but it's still worth watching. It starts out pretty uneven but improves in quality for most of the first two series. The miniseries Children of Earth is up to the quality of at least most of DW.

So for UK television do you always refer to seasons as series or is this a Doctor Who thing, because it's really confused me in this thread
They refer to them all as serials. It's America that calls them seasons.Originally Posted by Jessweeee♪

Actually, serials are stories of the earlier Doctor Who episodes from before the revival (which usually consist of four to six episodes), while a series generally refers to a season of television. But to make things even more confusing, classic Who is generally numbered as seasons one to twenty-six, while modern Who starts with series one and goes up to the forthcoming series eight (with Capaldi). I think they did this just to confuse Americans, personally.
Well played, England.
So far I've seen this to be the best viewing order:
Although the last two seem to be interchangeable as there are no crossovers at that point.
- Season 1 of Doctor Who
- Season 2 of Doctor Who
- Season 3 of Doctor Who, stopping after Blink
- Season 1 of Torchwood
- Season 3 of Doctor Who, restarting at Utopia
- Season 2 of Torchwood
- Season 4 of Doctor Who
- Season 3 of Torchwood (Children of Earth)
- Doctor Who Specials (four hour long episodes in 2009)
- Seasons 5 and 6 of Doctor Who
- Season 4 of Torchwood

Just got done with season 3 yesterday and I think this is a good article:
10 Reasons Martha Jones Is Awesome | Ars Marginal
I think a lot of people disliked Martha just because she fell in to the unfortunate position of "The companion after Rose". Rose is my favorite companion but Martha was great!
Yeah I think following up Rose really did her in. Martha was my least favorite, but I did like her. I know I hated Donna the very first episode she appeared but once I had some time to get used to Martha not being Rose and she was brought in as a companion Donna really grew on me.
Martha was my least favorite, but part of that is just with her being after Rose. She has a lot going for her, but I felt like they focused too much on her being in love with The Doctor and pining after him. That was the most annoying thing about Tennet's run to me: everyone just seemed to fall in love with him. Martha is in general a good, strong character though.
It's been a while since I've watched the episodes with her in it too, so I could be remembering things wrong as well.
