For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

WATCH THIS: A taste of 'Torchwood' Season 3

As fans anticipate Season 3 of smart hot actioner Torchwood, arriving later this year, an official trailer has just hit the BBC America site and YouTube. "Children of Earth" will be a five-night arc kicking off with the title characters stopping in movement simultaneously all around the world.

(The trailer contains fantasy violence, four-letter words and guy-on-guy smooches -- all those things Torchwood fans love.)

The trailer debuts in conjunction with this weekend's New York ComicCon and its Torchwood panel featuring actor Eve Myles and director Euros Lyn (Saturday at 4:15 p.m. ET at Manhattan's Javits Center).

Here's the official BBC America release:

"In one epic story told over five nights, the new series, airing later this year on BBC America and BBC One in the UK, re-joins Captain Jack (John Barrowman), Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David Lloyd), who are still coming to terms with the death of two of their closest friends. Despite their pain, they have a job to do. This time, they are faced with their fiercest threat to date -- one which throws the future of Torchwood and the entire human race spiraling into danger. They battle against the odds, but do they stand a chance of saving mankind?"

There's more at bbcamerica.com/torchwood, including a Season 3 blog and previous seasons' "Inside Look" featurettes. But it's more fun savoring those juicy first two seasons on DVD (first season also on Blu-ray).

If you haven't yet tuned in to Torchwood, trust us -- it's a smarter show than you think. And hotter. And cooler. We sure carry a torch for it . . .
