I didn't get BBC America so I had to wait and buy the DVD sets (at an inflated price) and now I don't have Starz so I'll have to wait to see this one too.

I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I wish I could get over Children of Earth, but I can't. Maybe I'll tune in if I end up hearing really good things about this, but I doubt it.

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.

Some bad news for Brits - the version shown in the UK will allegedly be cut to remove violence etc. since it is being shown comparatively early in the evening.

Without going to spoilers, it's holding together pretty well so far - the first episode seems to have been made with a bigger budget than the whole of the last series, so there's some good stunts and special effects etc.
It's also fairly bloody, at least in the Starz version, with some VERY grisly injured but undying people. I suspect that this will be what they cut for the BBC showing next Friday, if it's correct that it will be cut.
Can't really say more without spoilers, and I suspect that any comments may be spoilery so read at your peril.
