Editorial Review:
The pressure was really on The Sarah Connor Chronicles right from the start. The first spin-off from the extraordinary Terminator franchise, it picks up after the events of the second film, and finds Lena Headey in the title role, who--along with her 15-year old son, John--sets about trying to save the world from the impending threat of Skynet. Along the way too, they encounter Summer Glau (whom there’s a strong chance you’ll know from Firefly), who steps into the shoes of Cameron, a bodyguard Terminator who helps fight off the many threats they face. She’s some piece of work.
Very deliberately paced, and intricately woven to make sure it safely fits within the Terminator universe, The Sarah Connor Chronicles works a great deal better than you’d have any right to expect. Tightly scripted, and with a terrific performance by Headey in the central role, the show packs plenty of action and narrative into the nine episodes of its maiden season, and it certainly whets the appetite for more.
Perhaps the biggest compliment to be paid, though, is that The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a worthy companion and follow-up to the first two Terminator films, and one that genuinely expands and deepens the franchise. It’ll be fascinating to see where the show goes next. --Jon Foster

Good, not great...but getting better (season 2) I know what some of the reviewers here are saying with their 'middle of the road' reviews...No doubt it was a bold move to bring the franchise to TV and it in part works. Where I feel let down somewhat is thst we are looking at an idea that was conceived nearly 25 years ago, and since then sci-fi films/tv/comics/book etc have developed and 'moved on' so to speak.
I feel the writers have follewed the premise/ideas set by the first film a bit too closely and I feel the series has been a missed... more info

It's such a shame that Fox look like they are about to cancel this show as It's the most compelling 45mins on U.S. tv. There's plenty of other reviews so just to note that the U.S. Blu-Ray is region free, and... more info
This Show Might Self-Terminate in the Near Future James Cameron's original `Terminator' movies are definitive, sci-fi action classics. Jonathan Mostow's third entry was a blurry photocopy that had neither big enough brains or big enough brawn to match-up to its parent counterparts. With a new 'Terminator' sequel on the horizon, set in the post-apocalyptic future and minus one Governor of California, you would think a television series based around the targeted Connor family would be an incredibly hard thing to not only pull-off, but also make fit into the... more info
Genuinely surprising and fantastic TV SF I've been a fan of Terminator for years, ever since it was first shown on UK TV in fact, I put up with the T3 travesty and thought no more of it. This series has taken me by as much surprise as the new Battleststar did however. The acting is brilliant and believable, the special effects are top notch, the camera work is emotive and moody - I can't say enough good things about this show. There have been some genuinely chilling moments, just as you start to feel that Cameron is taking on human... more info
