Children of Earth was very intense and hard to watch, I agree. Miracle Day doesn't sound like it is going to be any lighter, IMHO. I liked the Torchwood series better and my favorite episode was the one with James Marsters of Buffy fame.
One reason I like Torchwood is that I can understand Borrowman's English since he uses an American accent. I have real trouble with Eve's Welsh accent.
