Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk 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

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 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 ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Successful small screen transition for the Terminator Franchise
The Terminator movies were so inherently large scale and cinematic that it seems hard to imagine spinning off the franchise onto the small screen successfully. And yet, that is what they have done here - a combination of good writing, a good cast, and not trying to bend the storyline too much, has paid dividends, making this well worth watching, even if necessarily smaller in scale of production and effects.
Set after the events of Terminator 2, we find Sarah Connors protecting John Connors and ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Buy american for best extras
If you really like this programme, then buy the american edition with an extended directors cut of 'The Demon Hand' and other extras not to be found on the more expensive british edition
