If you enjoy the Terminator movies give this a shot. Lena Headey in this series gives Linda Hamilton a run for her money as the mother trying to protect her only child from termination. Summer Glau is great as a Terminator. Don't miss this show but you must see it on Blu Ray to get the full effect.
Great Series I did not see the first season on TV but had seen the pilot when it was reshown and it interested me enough to see what I had missed, so when the disks came out I ordered them and I am glad I did.
This is a very entertaining series at least as good as the movies and better than most shows on TV today.
If you liked the movies or just a good entertaining series, with good plot line, interesting characters and just plain good watching. Get this.
Surprisingly good for a movie inspired TV series. Usually, movie-inspired TV shows are like their video game counterparts, i.e. a cheap means of conning unwary viewers/buyers. Occasionally, we are pleasantly surprised by the quality of the work. Buffy comes to mind. And now, Sarah Connor Chronicles has the potential to do it as well.
The writing is superb. The acting is generally above par. The special effects are not major motion picture caliber but serviceable. Only the young John Connor is a little weak. Lena Headey's physique also compares unfavorably against Linda Hamilton in Judgment Day, but these are minor issues easy to overlook. Let's just hope that the series does not suffer a second season collapse a la Heroes.
An amazing cast and solid writing make this the best scifi show since Firefly. This show is excellent. Many of us, I'm sure, were hesitant to see an Arnold-less Terminator TV show, with a new actress filling the shoes of the iconic Sarah Connor, after being immortalized by Linda Hamilton. Well, as both a long time Terminator fan, and someone who is very picky about which TV shows they watch, I can safely say that this show delivers the goods in ways I couldn't have imagined.
The cast for this show is excellent. The producers wisely opted not to simply cast Sarah Connor based on how well the actress resembled Hamilton, but by how well she portrayed the character. Lena Headey is friggin' close to perfect for the role, and that was something that I was not expecting at all when I first found out they were making the show. Thomas Dekker as John Connor bears a stronger resemblance to his Terminator 2 counterpart, but more importantly he fills the role very well. Given that the Connors are the only Terminator 2 veterans who appear regularly in the series, it was fundamental to the show's success that they cast them properly, and thankfully they did.
The real show stealer though, is Summer Glau as the new character "Cameron." She's John's new cyborg protector from the future, and it's no surprise that she is rapidly becoming a fan favorite. The role of Cameron is much more complicated than simply an emotionless robot, because she's more than a regular Terminator, as the series slowly reveals. She's a machine that is slowly becoming more human-like, and Summer Glau is the perfect actress to convey both aspects of Cameron's personality. She's definitely one of my favorite aspects of the show, and I can't wait to see how she develops in future episodes.
The writing in the show is well done too. There are a few continuity errors in some episodes that you may or may not pick up on depending on how closely you pay attention, but those aren't really what's important. What is important is that the story actually makes you care about the characters, and eager to find out what happens next. Sometimes I would literally throw things at my TV when a commercial break started just because I was so hooked. They did an excellent job selling that these are the same John and Sarah Connor from Terminator 2, but the writers now have the opportunity to expand their characters a lot further than was possible in a 2.5 hour long movie.
If you are a Terminator fan, you owe it to youself to buy this set. The visual quality for the Blue-Ray is amazing, and it even comes with a slightly extended cut of the pilot, and a greatly extended cut of one of the later episodes that sheds even more light on Sarah Connor's character. I am addicted to this show.
When is "The Second Season" being released on Blu Ray!!!! Ya know I bought this serries on Blu Ray not knowing what I was getting. After the first episode I was hooked!!!!! I mean really hooked!!! I sat in my recliner for the full 392 minutes. Need I say more!!!
