Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was an outstanding show. The actors were perfectly cast. Original characters were very well thought up, especially Derek Reese, the brother of the first movie's protagonist Kyle Reese and John Connor's uncle. This show was cut short at a point where it was just getting better. The ending of season 2 was fantastic and I feel truly ripped off that season 3 was never made. It was a bad decision to cancel a show with such a great fan base at such a good point. 5/5 stars

Too bad fox spent so much money on the advertisement of this show. As a result they had little patience for it to grow into a hit. Fox seems very impatient when it comes to shows..especially sci-fi which needs time to grow. Google please put the 2nd season up for purchase please.

This started off campy and blossomed into a piece of art that pays tribute to the series unlike terminator 3, and arguably salvation and genesys... the worse thing is this show getting cut to my dismay... much like alphas (another great budget sci fi series)
