Please make new series! The story for a second (And third?) could be awesome!

The idea is good but let down by very wooden acting and an appallingly poor script

The main problem with Terra Nova is that it had so much potential that was never realized. The show, which was quite an expensive production for network TV, needed to have amazing ratings to keep the episodes coming and sadly it never achieved those ratings and was cancelled very early on in its initial run. The show had other problems and was never able to arrive at a great high quality level, but it showed such promise towards the end of its season. When the last episode finally ends you wish there will be a second season to answer all of the new mysteries that are revealed in the final minutes of the Resistance, but sadly there is no more Terra Nova to be had. Overall, the performances were adequate with Stephan Lang's portrayal of Colonel Taylor probably being the best of the bunch. The stories could have had some better writing, but the plot, setting, and universe that they create is compelling and intriguing. The special effects are high quality for television and their sets are magnificent. Had the show continued, I would have been there to see how it all unfolded for at least another season, but as it stands here, Terra Nova is relegated to dwelling in its mediocrity and could-have-beens.

I barely managed to make to season 1 end. After 3rd episode i watched it "half eye", working at the same time. Still it was boring as hell. Despite the fact i love dinosaurs, love time travel, love sci-fi and all the stuff, those series made me feel disgust to people who made it. All, absolutely all scenario twists are cliché. There were not a single twist that was not obvious. Actors are playing so bad that it makes you feel it's a porn. Soldiers of the future are all dressed in Chinese plastic pads from nearest sports shop. My snowboard protection would make a better soldier costume. All the characters are stereotypical as hell and have the most boring motivation ever. Creators of that thing seem to have no respect to the viewer just as no love to the product they make. Moreover, but the rate of that thing seems like they're OK to buy votes at IMDb. Which is really really disgusting...There are bright spots probably. But things above are SO noticeable and SO disgusting that it makes you blind for anything else.
