Doug Elfman

Season 1 Review: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" begins as an intense, thoughtful, exciting, fun spectacle. The first episode will kick your ass. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: Under director David Nutter and show-runner Josh Friedman, the first two hours roll a slick brand extension off this profitable assembly line. Read full review

Diane Werts

Season 1 Review: Humans vs. cyborgs in a movie spin-off that's surprisingly effective for fans of both action and character drama. Read full review

New York Daily News

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: Happily, viewers have less of a challenge in picking up the somewhat complex story line that continues from the "Terminator" movies. Newcomers won't be any more confused than they are by any time-travel adventure. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Rob Owen

Season 1 Review: Some die-hards may be frustrated by inconsistencies in the timeline with "Terminator 3," but unless you get overly wrapped up in the details of time travel, tonight's pilot is an intense adventure. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: While it's hard to predict how this new chapter will play among deeper fans of the "Terminator" mythology, the rest of us have to ask ourselves if watching reboots of robot battles once a week is worth our time. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Season 1 Review: By the time the second hour comes on Monday and tries to give these characters some dimension, you already know that the talent on both sides of the camera simply isn't there to make this a worthwhile trip. Read full review

new terminator models, best sarah connor since linda in T2, john progresses from being a child and cameron is an interesting new guardian. Well acted with an intricate plot, only let down is the tv budget effects at times.
