I hope it forces RTD to raise his game, but I'm not optimistic
Market forces are probably going to force him to at least change his game; that Torchwood was a huge hit on a tiny cable channel that most people don't even get isn't going to take him far; that he oversaw a huge hit in another country will only get him marginally further. Sooner or later, he's going to have to deal with the fact that American entertainment is predominately tilted towards the upbeat and inspirational.
IOW, snuffing kids onscreen will NEVER play in Peoria!
