Captain Jack Will Get You by Tonight

by Jeffe Kennedy

Today's post is a bit of a drive-by since I'm packing up all of my ill-gotten gains at the RT Booklovers Convention and heading home. Speaking of which, if you haven't yet seen sister-Word-Whore Carolyn Crane's hysterically brilliant post on HER RT experience, you really must. So my pick for favorite non-US TV show or series? Has to be Torchwood. Mostly because John Barrowman does a superb job of playing the sexy and omnisexual Captain Jack Harkness. Never has a trench coat looked so awesome. I think partly because it is a British show, they are far more willing to break the lines that tend to confine American television. With a story that's all about challenging boundaries and ideas, this is a wonderful thing. Seriously - go watch it.
