A bit of a slowburner series that takes its time.
Perhaps a little too much time, with its 9 episodes there isn't much time to do anything so you need to be a little faster with plot points, character development and reveals. A series that is of course also built around the success of the first two Terminator films. So it's already hard to match that. Have to say that the series doesn't really try and try to be something its own. It does contain elements and characters from the film that are referenced back to.
So what the series is a bit of a blow to is that it takes too long. Where you normally work with about 12 to 21(?) episodes, here it is only 9. It is only in the last 3/4 episodes that the series comes loose and rises to a much higher level than in the first 6/ 7 episodes. The developments are starting to connect nicely with each other and also with the films Boen's character, for example . It also contains enough own developments that are even more interesting here than in the recently released film Terminator: Genisys.
Acting is very good here. Besides being a beautiful lady, Lena Heady is a good actress and she certainly shows that here. Dekker, hmm, had to get used to him. Brian Austin Green is on a roll and Shirley Manson puts on a pretty creepy character. But the one who draws all the attention is Summer Glau. How well she is doing. With a lot of commitment and pleasure.
Securities are also high considering the budget. Visual as well as practical and make-up effects. All almost perfect. The action is very well portrayed. Not very high quality yet, but certainly a pleasure to watch.

Saw the entire season 1 and 2 last week and this week, must say that it entertained me again, another new chapter after Terminator 2: Judgment day , the story continues after this, every part has an exciting part, although I had expected a bit more action, the story was original and therefore goes further and further, sometimes it just seemed to be a separate part, but when you look further it comes back to 1 story.
So I've seen season 2 completely, but 1 or 2 has the same amount of action and every piece has something, also well played by John Connor sister (the robot) who helps them and in season 2 John Henry was quite creepy.
At the end of season 2 there is a big explosion of action and it has a special and surprising ending.

Nice story that continues on the events after the classic films. Although the makers of The Sarah Connor Chronicles clearly prefer a television approach, it all manages to be quite entertaining. Lena Headey and Thomas Dekker play reasonable characters in this way and manage to make something of them despite the outdated effects. Nevertheless, it is Summer Glau who plays by far the most fascinating character and fits perfectly into the quite complex role that is assigned to her. This first season of the cancelled television series in question suffers from a lack of highlights and action moments, but manages to be entertaining thanks to a well-filled content. The somewhat distant finale is also a pity, with a plot that was much better developed in the previous parts. Nevertheless, the makers succeed in letting the viewer build a bond with the characters and that weighs very heavily in the final assessment. The second season will undoubtedly go down well.
