The biggest individual fault for me is the way the politics is all wrong. It completely destroys my suspension of disbelief when the real world stuff is written incredibly badly and makes no sense.
Vera turns up for a meeting, it's been cancelled by email as the reports are handed to Congress that morning to allow for legislation that afternoon so the camps are active that night? The whole world follows suit within 24 hours? The world doesn't work like that, it really really doesn't. So either there's some plot point that's being hinted at badly, or Rusty thinks versimilitude of the reality based stuff is irrelevent.
I still enjoy seeing Torchwood investigate, I quite like the new characters, but it just isn't working as a plot, because the plot is based on a view of how the real world works that simply isn't.
