 A Surprise Hit, Chronicled Well October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In an era of reality shows, lawyers and crime scenes, a short-season - nine episodes - Sci Fi series based on a movie franchise seemed to be filler that may not have a future. Wrong.
The program was a winner on a number of levels, which the 3-discs aptly depicts; along with the entire first season, there is commentary on selected shows, audition tapes and other special features, including deleted scenes.
The cast is what truly makes the series, as Lena Headley (Sarah), Thomas Dekker (John) and Richard T. Jones (FBI agent James Ellison) are perfect for their key roles. Summer Glau (cyborg protector) and Garret Dillahunt (T-888 hunter) have characters that push the action forward, but do not overshadow the human aspects of the story.
There is a vast potential for this TV series and the Blu-ray edition shows why this sleeper was a huge surprise hit.
Very good! October 12, 2008

I bought "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" on Blu-Ray to give this new tv series a chance, since I am a big Terminator fan. I watched the first season on a big screen that I have at home and I just loved the blu-ray quality of the show and the quality of the series itself:
Every episode feels like an entire movie. The special effects are stunning, the actors do their jobs very well and the story keeps you watching and wanting more of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles". I should not forget, that I was very impressed of some musical elements of the show: The main theme is beautiful and Johnny Cash and Shirley Manson rock the show (meaning season 1 and 2).
The 3 disc blu-ray set includes outtakes, commentaries, deleted scenes and a 10 minute longer version of one of the last episodes from season 1. I keep enjoying the satisfying feeling of buying this blu-ray set for an incredible price at amazon.com .
I can recomend this show to anyone who liked Terminator 1 + 2. This show prooves, that you don't need an Arnie to enjoy this! A+
Note: I do hope that this show will get a third season, since 2009 will be THE Terminator year with this show and Terminator 4 coming to theatres.
 Terminator-The Sarah Connor Chronicles-Complete First Season (Blu Ray) September 27, 2008

Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season [Blu-ray] Great performances and lots of fun. 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 September 26, 2008

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. September 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
