I really tried to like Torchwood.
Why?

Because, in my case, stripped of the pervert component and advocacy (which adds nothing to the story) it is actually entertainment good enough to be among my favorite regular series.

As a vehicle for pervert propaganda, an otherwise entertaining series commited suicide.

R.I.P.

Kind of reminds me of our federal government : You don't like what?

I guess.

I read a lot of SF and fantasy. A few years ago I read a pair of linked novels that were well recommended on Amazon, I forget the name of the author now—a woman. It turned out that her hero was gay.

Very well written, dramatic, and satisfying, except for that one unfortunate fact right at the center of things. None of the reviews or blurbs had mentioned it.

So, I read on with mixed feelings, having bought the books. No complaints about style, drama, construction. But I won’t buy any more of her books.
