A movie tie in series that doesn't suck? Really?

I'm seriously impressed. After many bad movie tie in series, one has finally taken the films and made a damn good series from it.

Today, I've watched the whole of Series 1 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles - bloody hell it's good.

The woman who plays Sarah Connor is superb in the role. The girl who plays the Terminator is even better. John Connor is a bit of a little git, but I suppose thats understandable given who he's meant to be.

Some of the stories tie into the films really well and it seems that they have taken the first 2 films as gospal and have tried to do as much within that framework as possible. Even the episode set partially in the future could almost have been done by James Cameron.

I really should be going through the IMDB top 250... but I fancied a change after a crappy weekend and Rocky can wait... *perferably until I have nothing else to watch - along with Sin City and the Bored of the Things trilogy*

I'll start on Series 2 tomorrow.
