Torchwood would have worked better as more of a team show with a more even distribution of points of view. Then Gwen wouldn't have been the one asking the questions all the time, and she wouldn't have come across as being in permanent posession of the idiot ball, and a pushy, hypocritical cow at the same tiem. Alternatively, they could have pushed her juuust a little bit further and made her into a super awesome uberbitch, and the show would have taken an awesome turn for the darker.
Jack is afflicted with that problem that faces most of the Torchwood characters - there's no character bible, so everyone interprets them differently. And I don't think anyone really knows how to deal with Jack anyway. We seem to see him as a much more rounded character than he actually is.
