Here is a show that is fun to watch, but doesn't amount to much more. The first two films were fun, but emotional. They were hard-hitting and mean. The third film was mediocre, but had great action scenes. The Sarah Connor Chronicles falls somewhere between the second film and the third, both chronologically and in quality. Because it's on basic cable, the John Connor and Sarah Connor of the films are changed, mostly because they cannot swear or bloody up too many people. They are the softer, family friendly versions, but the pair are still brooding enough to stay interesting. The first season starts slow, but builds to something better near the finale. And thanks are owed to Brian Austin Green, who plays John's uncle Derek Reese and is one of the compelling reasons to watch. He is the most capable actor on the show, playing the most interesting character. The Sarah Connor Chronicles had the chance to do so much more, but in the end it chose to be just another action show with characters we know from superior works.Genre - Action (2.5)
