Sanctuary will please and entertain every sci-fi fan that is not interested only in space based stories.Interesting and fan to watch characters with great chemistry between them, developing as the series progresses. Mrs Tapping gracefully leads the way with a character that is no way near SG1's Sam Carter... after the initial startle of seeing her with long dark hair, civilian clothing and a British accent, you definitely can't help but let yourself be carried away into her adventures. Decent -sometimes very well- writing, acting and directing, very good music score, but the big breakthrough came with the use of green screen for almost 90% of the scenery and close courters shooting of the show. Sanctuary essentially broke the limits of the creative process as far as landscaping is concerned.4 seasons really not enough. Hope it will come back for more!

I too am a Stargate buff & like Amanda Tapping. It is my opinion that the show is worth the watch. On watching the first episode I liked what I saw, then after a few I didn't so much. However, my son had continued to watch it & told me not to give up on it just yet. So I went back to it & got pleasantly surprised. Some episodes were as good as full length movies. I particularly liked Jonathon young's character, Nikola Tesla:) Amanda played an extremely believable lady from England & I thought her accent was just great. It was a complete transformation from Samantha Carter of SG1. This character was a more domineering in control person who knew what she wanted and how to get it. The settings & special effects were pretty darn good I thought. It seemed a fair amount of thought and time went into these areas. Like all TV shows there is going to be an episode or three that doesn't appeal or seems to loose focus to the individual. However, overall I felt good about watching the show.

I'm a huge Stargatefan. I watched it all from SG1 till Universe. I liked Amanda Tapping in it as well. That brought me to buy this series. A huge mistake. First of all it doesn't have any subs. Second, even though the first episode started off promising, very soon it became a very unbelievable story. And it never returned to becoming anything near exciting, refreshing or believable. I pulled the plug when also a werewolf joined the party. One of the many signs that the writers lacked creativity. Robin Dunne was a pleasure to watch. But that would also be the case if he would just sit in a chair all series long. And Christopher Heyerdahl played a interesting and believable role. But that is about all positive there is to say about it. The rest was a terrible waste of my time.

When this program was first released, I was put off in the previews by Amanda Tapping with a British accent, so I skipped watching it. She may have been born in the UK, but her American accent seems to pop out at times. However, I decided that after three seasons on the air, I would watch the program. I was not disappointed. The story is a very interesting look at the Sanctuary that Dr. Helen Magnus operates to protect "Abnormal" beings.The program uses probably more CGI and green screen (CSO) than any I have seen in awhile. Some of it is very well done and in other places it looks like a scene from a PS3 game. However, the effects seem to add more than distract from the plots. Another bonus I liked was seeing SG-1 alumni pop up now and then like Michael Shanks (Dr. Jackson) or Gary Jones (Walter). My favorite line is when Gary Jones says. "I knew that British accent was fake." Christopher Heyerdahl is brilliant in his roles as is Robin Dunne as Will. Another treat is seeing cast from Highlander such as Jim Byrnes and Peter Wingfield. Overall the casting is very good and believable. Most of the shows so far have had some substance but I do wonder how long that will last. Hopefully, it can find good writers and continue on!
