Sanctuary - The Complete Season 2

I have always enjoyed this series. The second season started off with a bang and it ended with a bigger bang. Amanda Tapping, a very fine acctress (Stargate SG-1, Startgate Atlantis), and the rest of the multi-talented cast (Robin Dunne, Ryan Robbins, et al) makes this series exciting and fun to watch. The effects are first rate, and unfortunately due to the cost of these effects that possibly resulted in the termination of the series. It is sad that the SCY-FY channel has reverted to a lot of reality shows to fill their schedule instead of the innovative series that brought it to the forefront. . Anyway, If you enjoyed Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, you will enjoy this series. After watching this series, I find myself asking, what is "Normal" or "Abnormal?"

Awesome and I can't wait for season three to come out! I purchase television series because I don't like commercials on T.V. and I don't own cable or satelite. In my household my family and I after dinner watch episodes on DVD. I also purchased Sanctuary first season. I had no idea that this was even on television. My family and I are antsipating the third season. Amanda Tapping is a great actress. Her character in this series is very different from the SG1 series. The other characters in this series are amazing and with each episode you will get hooked on wanting to watch the next one right after the other. I now follow Amanda on Twitter and her offical website just to see what she is up to now a days. I have never had a favorite actor/actress before and I do believe that I have found Amanda Tapping to be my favorite!

As a scifi geek it is nice to see that there is a show out there that has returned to the old days of monsters and has kept it clean enough for the whole family to watch together. Some people may think that keeping it clean and less gory is lame, but it's needed out there. For having good story lines and not leaning on the shock factor to catch your interest I say bravo. Well done. I only wish that the series could come out more quickly in order. Got season one and two, still waiting on season three and the show is way into new seasons already. You have to be patient if you want this series. Bit of a drag but worth it.

I just finished watching this season 2 on Blu-Ray... much better picture than on regular TV. I have one major complaint, but the rest is all good. The complaint is about the packaging... they cheaped out or something and 2 of the 4 discs were out of the holders and floating free and scatched up because they went with some new design where the top discs slide into a semicircle at the bottom of the top disc only and the bottom discs rest in an indentation so the DESIGN is for them to lie on top of the other! Who's stupid idea was that? The design, even if it works, isn't going to protect 2 out of 4 discs from getting scratched up! Stupid! ********* UPDATE! ******I have just gotten a replacement set due to bad sound on the final episode #13... Frankly this episode sounds as if someone forgot to set up for 5.1 dolby or 5.1 DTS... it sounds like the sound from the old 2.0 stereo from years ago... with one difference, the music and sound effects are still coming through the center speaker, but no dialogue. Dialogue is coming through the right front speaker! And very little is coming out of left front at all... So, I don't know what to make of this... all the other episodes 1 thru 12 on discs 1-3 sound just fine... only the final episode on disc 4 is like this - on both sets Amazon sent me... so, is this a manufacturing problem? You people will have to tell me that.

Ever since watching Sanctuary - Season One - I have become hooked on this show. It is clever, intelligent, and fun, with a bit of suspended belief (OK, more than a little), and takes you on a journey of adventure and suspense in Sci-Fi land. The cast is great, and what they have accomplished with a very low budget, NO big studio (just a small enough sound stage), and CGI, is amazing. That alone makes it worth the viewing. But the stories are well-written and add to the overall experience.

Item arrived later than originally planned, but it was in great condition. Now I have all 4 seasons.

Having been a comic book & Science Fiction geek for most of my life; I can say the following with quite a bit of experience. Sanctuary is yet another series that can take an episode or two to "GET ONTO" it. I have found that as I keep tabs on the show, I am still intrigued enough every week to see what kind of creature of gadget they'll throw into a scene. The acting is very good with green screen filming. Some of the editing leaves the actors just a hint off, yet it flows well. CGI is very expensive & used with good taste to keep the monsters & such quality up to today's standards. Many years ago just getting an actor to try and imagine something was in front of them left alot of awkward movements. I am sure that if you watch the show for a week or two you won't be disappointed.

I had seen several of the later episodes when they aired, but was a bit confused in a few places as to how, when and where. After purchasing Seasons 1 and 2, the blanks are filled in, and while I have found some episodes sort of ordinary, others make it well worth while to watch.The presise isn't new - not matter who or what we are (or look like) we deserve conpassion, but it's taken over the top, and pushes that point. A bit quirky, especially with a reformed Jack the Ripper, and Tesla popping in and, but totally enjoyable.If you like fantasy served up as possiblity, you'll love the series.
