torchwood

is SO BAD.

why am watching it?

the acting is bad enough, but the programme makers seem to need to put this incidental music over everything.

there's THIS MOMENT IS SAD music, THIS MOMENT IS SPOOKY music, THIS MOMENT IS FUNNY music. And every now and then the camera goes all swingy for no reason to back up the THIS MOMENT IS SPOOKY music, as if to hammer the point home.

Still, having caught part of robin hood the other day, torchwood isn't as bad as that... half of them look like they bought their clothes in primark. And you keep expecting Robin Hood to go 'alwight mate, don't leave yer car there, i'll nick it, innit. i'm a geeza, yeah?'

The only time there is a good music score in a program or film is when you dont notice its there.

I think the best score ever is The Princes Bride. The score works perfectly with every action and gesture, and manages to add to the film without being distracting. genius :)

In Torchwood you feel like the actors are fighting an uphill stuggle with the score.
