Torchwood for Adults

One of the comments that was made in a recent post of mine was about whether the more adult nature of Torchwood will have much impact on how the series is received in America, both by potential stations and the audience at large.

Honestly, I don't think it'll be any more difficult for the American audience than the UK audience -- Doctor Who doesn't have quite the tradition of being a show targeted for families and children in the US as it does in the UK.

I doubt that Torchwood will be much more "adult" than the new Battlestar Galactica. And as Sci Fi has purchased the first series of Doctor Who, assuming it does well for them they'd be the natural first home for Torchwood as well.
