The writers were relentless in their writing, going straight for the throat countless times.
Obviously, if it weren't for the actors' tremendous performances, all of this would have been cheap B-grade drivel.
If there's one thing I almost agree with a critique I read, is that it seemed as though Jack gave up too easily, considering his demeanor during the earlier episodes in the series. Then again, heartbreak is always hard to deal with, and in those circumstances, it was just worse.
I do hope they get around to bringing Cap'n Jack back for another season of Torchwood, maybe with the help of a certain Doctor.
