Customer Reviews

surprisingly complex and thoughtful
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.

Great start!
Great beginning, now let's see this story unfolds and characters/ characters' relationships grow stronger. Great acting, especially Summer Glau and Brian Austin Green.
