Torchwood:Miracle Day: The New World

I couldn't resist to watch Torchwood today because who knows when it will be on German TV. For all those in the UK who haven't seen the episode yet stop reading now. I won't drop major spoilers but I will let you know what I think about it.

Summary:
One day on the whole nobody dies and this day is called Miracle day. People don't die but they still get hurt and age so it's not really the optimal immortality. Rex Matheson should have died in a car crash but he survived because of the miracle. Together with Esther he tries to find out if the things happening are connected to Torchwood. Jack tries to erase all traces of Torchwood to keep Gwen save but Rex is able to find Gwen and her family in Wales when they are attacked by men in a helicopter.

What a start for the new series. I really liked it and I think it's an interesting concept especially because Jack is now the only one who can die. Maybe this is only happening because of him and I wonder who is so pissed that he wants to kill Jack. Well, we will see it in the upcoming episodes.
It was really great to see the characters of Jack and Gwen again and I think the new characters fit very good into the show. I don't know if there will be big differences between the US and the UK version but maybe someone who has seen both versions can tell me.
Go here if you want to watch it online: The New World
