Critic's review of Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season 1
View all critics' reviews (6)
- As much as the show recalls the movies, it also recalls some of the best work ever done in the genre for TV: the Buffy universe of Joss Whedon. Most every blast of portent and bombast is lightened by a throwaway joke; scenes of intense action and violence give way to equally well-realized scenes of domestic life that root the fantasy in emotional reality

- One of the more humanizing adventures in science fiction to arrive in quite a while, the series is taut, haunting, relevant, and an exploration of adolescent exceptionalism rendered without the cheerleading uniforms and parody of HEROES

  - 15 Jul 2008 at 00:19
- Director David Nutter gets the series off to a rousing start, practically packing every frame with suspense, special effects and an urgency that drives this show like an incessant drumbeat
