Torchwood: Miracle Day may have been the last appearance of Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper, and the rest of the Torchwood team so fans might want to grab a copy of Miracle Day on Blu-ray or DVD when it hits store shelves on April 3rd. In all honestly, I was a big fan of Torchwood from the beginning and I’d hate to see Miracle Day be the show’s final bow. The ten part series started out extremely promising but right around episode four it began to lose a lot of drive and finally creaked to a merciful end with what may have been one of the most ridiculous finales of any science fiction tale I’d ever seen on TV – outside of SyFy obviously. I was really surprised by what a mess the collaboration of Starz and the BBC made of the show.

Of course, that’s just my opinion so here are the details about the set.

John Barrowman (Doctor Who, Desperate Housewives) and Eve Myles (Doctor Who, Little Dorrit) are joined by stars Mekhi Phifer (ER, Lie to Me) and Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping, Independence Day) for a new heart-pounding season of Torchwood.

When convicted child killer Oswald Danes (Pullman) miraculously survives his own execution, the footage holds America transfixed. And then everyone realizes that nobody is dying. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next. People keep aging — they get hurt and sick — but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.

With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as CIA agent Rex Matheson (Phifer) investigates a secret British institution named Torchwood that seems to hold the answers, and finds only two surviving members: Gwen Cooper (Myles), who has retreated to a remote Welsh hideaway with her new family, and the mysterious, brilliant Captain Jack Harkness (Barrowman). But soon they all find themselves in the same fight against the greatest threat humanity has ever known – humanity itself.
