Article roundup (Torchwood) 6th-9th July 2011

Unsurprisingly the last few days has seen media interest rise in the US, with plenty of previews, interviews and thoughts about what to expect. And since the premiere on Starz last night the first reviews have appeared, too. The iOS-only accompaniment, Web of Lies, has also been released. In the UK, the BBC has responded to the later broadcast of the series, and has released their Press Pack and some more previews in the run-up to Thursday's UK premiere.
