I went with Torchwood before S3 of DW. Here, as always, are my thoughts.
Ok, it took me a good 15 or 20 minutes to get into it properly. Not because I didnt enjoy it, but because I was expecting something a bit closer to Doctor Who. That aside though, I was quite impressed. Some of the swearing was a bit out of place. Its not that swearing bothers me, it just seemed a bit jammed in, if you know what I mean. The story was a good one and I felt I was joining Gwen on her ride into the unknown. Jack is radically different to his DW persona, but not in a bad way. Tosh was awesome and I think I will like her. The doctor guy annoyed me a bit, but his handsomeness won me over. The guy who made the tea seemed a bit pointless but it was just the first episode, so I will let him off. OMG They killed Suzie! I really liked her. How could they kill her in the first episode? Brilliant twist at the end, but I think she could have been brilliant!
I like how gritty and 'real' the show felt. It wasnt glossy and polished like you expect to see from most shows. The writing was sharp and current and the characters all so well rounded, which surprised me for a first episode. I am trying to watch it with DW out of mind and see it for what it is. So far I am impressed.

I cant believe you have never watched this before. Its brilliant. I used to watch a lot of filming when I was living at home still. The crew were always really accomodating, even though you couldnt get too close for obvious reasons, but when the cast had breaks they would always chat to us all waiting and watching. This series just gets better as it goes on, and series 3 is breathtaking, so stick with it

Glad you're enjoying it. The whole of the first series is great, but my favourite episode off the top of my head is called Captain Jack Harkness. Its the penultimate episode. Keep an eye out for it. It has a HOT soldier in it and its really weepy!

This isn't the best episode out there but as an opener and an introduction to the character I think it really does the trick and works well. The ending is awesome too

Love the end of this, but at the same time hate it. Suzie could have shaped up to be the best character, but blowing her brains out was the way forward.

I've actually started rewatching Torchwood S1 and I really regretted not doing so sooner! I completely forgot how much I really love this episode

I started a rewatch about a month ago but I only got four episodes in and then I stopped. Should really pick that up again!
