One other comment about Children of Earth:
I really, really appreciated the female characters. I’m pretty sure Torchwood in general passes the Beschdel test and probably COE does with flying colors. You’ve got badasses, you’ve got mothers (who are also at least a little badass too), you’ve got the plucky office girl. I mean, how often do you see anything with at least four major female characters and more minor? And they actually have something to do in the plot besides stand there and look pretty?
