While this show isn't James Cameron calibur stuff, for television it is really well done with some nice acting and top notch visual effects. I was never a T3 hater, but after watching the first season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I prefer this storyline and will happily ignore everything in T3 (at least until the fourth movie comes out in 2009). Lena Headey makes a good Sarah Connor, but the real star is Summer Glau, of Firefly and Serenity fame, who plays the cyborg protector named Cameron. She is cute, funny when trying not to be, and downright deadly when in combat. Not to mention the fact that this series shows off Brian Austin Green's acting skill and succeeds. What did I just say? If your a fan of the movies, you will find much to enjoy here. It isn't up to par with shows like LOST or 24 just yet, but who knows what the future will hold?

I have never seen a TV show based on a movie that was especially good. This show is the first. It's good in many ways. If you liked the movies at all, I suggest this series without any qualms.

Quite an excellent filler for any Terminator fan ... I have seen Season One and it was very cool, now if only I could get Season 2, to complete the circle prior to the last Terminator movie coming out this year, it would bring a sinister glee to our short lived future ... before they take over.

For some one who had not seen any episodes, I found it very entertaining. The characters are well developed and the story lines are well written. I am looking forward to the next set of episodes.

If you're a Terminator junkie...then this show is for you! I thought it added a lot of substance about John's life that wasn'nt in the films...and Cameron is Awesome!

I am looking forward to the new movie like I cannot even explain. I didn't have much hope for this series. Since everyone else is trying to ruin the tone from the first movie....T3 (I didn't hate it, just could've been better). I love the actors. Even Brian Austin Green. Amazing. Blew me away...watch it on blu ray. It's the only way.

One of the better shows out at the time. All involved did good jobs with the acting and the writting. I was really looking forward to seeing what direction things were going to take in the next season. Too bad it got TERMINATED!
