I adored Love and Monsters and my parents thought it rocked too so you are not alone. I still liked it when I rewatched it over Christmas.
And I get that about Owen too. I really like him because of his twattiness but everynow and then - particually in his love scenes with Diane, it must be said - I got distracted onto "My God, you look like a chimpanzee." I'm all for ugly actors, it makes for realism! It's just that occasionally, you notice and think "Ewww." Luckily, Ianto is damn pretty, thus making up for it. I demand more screen time for Ianto! He's so fucked up, it's awesome!
Still don't like the show. Do however, like the fanfic for the show. And the music videos. And the fact that all the best moments are on YouTube ...
