Here in Britain, the home of the Whoniverse, the general consensus seems to be that Miracle Day is entertaining, but moving far too slowly, and the increased emphasis on action is out of place for the franchise. And given that RTD's arc plots always build well then fall flat at the end, the fact that this one is already starting to drag and make a big deal out of unsurprising and mundane 'twists', doesn't bode well for the big reveal.

Given that this series is being produced in America, by an American company, presumably with an American audience in mind, I was wondering what people on the other side of the pond think of it?

I am a big Who fan and since Torchwood sucked ass in general this is pretty good.

I don't watch anything in the Whoniverse but TC's assessment seems remarkably similar to io9's. And since io9 is a predominately American website (as in, written largely by Americans) I'd say at least a bit of our continent's reaction is similar to yours.

Are Ianto, Toshiko, Owen, and John Hart still dead?

Then I don't care about it.

It's good, but not in the same way Children of Earth was. It's silly but entertaining. I actually haven't felt like the plot has been moving slowly at all.
