The Chicago Tribune – Top TV shows of 2008

December 18, 2008

From The Chicago Tribune The Watcher: "“Supernatural,” the CW/“Torchwood,” BBC America/“Doctor Who,” Sci Fi: Don’t make me pick just one genre favorite! The unheralded but excellent “Supernatural” is by far the most consistent of the three, packing meaty thrills, dude-tastic humor and solid storytelling into each episode. “Torchwood” is by far the cheekiest and sexiest of the trio, and despite some sigh-inspiring wobbles, it was even more satisfying in its frequently imaginative and compelling second season. “Doctor Who” was the most maddeningly inconsistent of the three, but when it worked, its mixture of wicked humor, slightly skewed sci-fi storytelling and poignant relationship drama was satisfying indeed. And David Tennant was simply brilliant as the Doctor; he’ll be missed when he exits the role after a series of 2009 specials."
