Summary: surprisingly complex and thoughtful
Comment: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has all of the things you would expect from an action show: things blow up, people get shot, cyborgs tear apart sets and wreck havoc on each other in satisfyingly flashy and violent ways. But what I wasn't expecting was how multi-layered the plots become. Common themes explored are the journey from boy to leader of mankind, Biblical stories, references to The Wizard of Oz, (particularly the Tim Man as Cameron, in search of a heart), and the idea that the humans must become as ruthless and unsentimental as the machines to survive, while the machines must become more human in order to hunt them.
Moments of sublime beauty (Summer Glau doing ballet) are in stark contrast with cruelty, despair and dysfunction. While it might start a little slow, when the show gets to Dungeons and Dragons it kicks it into high gear and never lets up. This is the rarest kind of tv show: the smart action show.

Summary: Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season
Comment: Summer Glau is awesome. This show is awesome - most television shows are garbage - it's on the same level as Firefly, and Lost (especially Season 4). Just so you get an idea of what I think is crap: Prison Break, 24, Heroes, House, etc., etc. So, if you don't like the shows I don't like, and like the shows I like, you'll love Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Better than Expected
Comment: I watched the entire series without ever having seen the movies so I knew very little about what Terminator is about. The show was much better than I had expected. It took a little while to get a handle on the background but, once I had an idea of what was going on, I liked the show. I am ordering the DVDs for my boyfriend because he did not get to see the show and I know he will enjoy it just as much.
