I remember watching this on TV and it had me hooked from episode one! Its a great look at one of, if not the best, sci-fi stories ever! Great plot and character developments, giving greater insights into characters we know and love and new characters bought into the story of the Connors! A must for any Terminator fan who wants to go in depth!

Enjoyed the hype and liked the fact that John Connor found his place in the future by his father Kyle Reese and uncle Derek. Fab show

Absolutely loved it from start to finish! Was absolutely gutted at the end of Season 2 knowing I'll never be able to see what happens next :( such a shame it was axed. 😭😭
