The storyline is genius. Really.
First, the title. Gone is Torchwood: The New World. Now it’s Torchwood: Miracle Day.
I know. Sort of like the first time you heard “The Phantom Menace,” isn’t it?
But wait ’til you hear what it’s about…
“The premise is a miracle happens in the world,” Davies says. “One day, on Earth, no one dies. The next day, no one dies. The day after that, no one dies. The [people who are] dying, keep dying … but don’t actually die. The possibility of death ceases to exist. Which is great for some people. But it’s an instant overnight population boom. The earth relies on people dying … What is society going to do now? Some of the answers are beautiful and brave. Some of the reactions are terrifying.”
Naturally, the Torchwood team is called in to try and tackle this very unusual problem (btw, if you haven’t seen Children of Earth yet, rent it ASAP). The series will air on Starz in July.
What’s your take on the plot?
