This is the perfect example of a “relatable” script done right! This hour-long plot was gripping, emotional, and funny all at the same time. It finds a perfect balance between raising tension and knowing when to release it. If you are tired of people failing at writing relatable scripts or just generally have frustration with telemarketers, then this story may suit you well.
***Spoilers Ahead***
After all that praise I gave, I will bring to light a negative about this piece: This particular episode doesn’t work with a happy, “everybody lives” ending. With the way that the episode played out, it felt forced and unsatisfying. Everything was set up perfectly. Zeynep learning what it means to sacrifice herself for others, Ianto learning what it means to be a member of Torchwood, the elongated and sad goodbye each of the characters made, all topped off with that chilling moment when Ianto found the parachute. I see no reason as to why things in literally the last 30 seconds should suddenly change after setting up a much better ending over the previous 5 minutes.
Other than that personal flaw, I have absolutely no problem with this episode. I still rate it a ten and recommend it to anyone!
