TERMINATOR - THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES SEASON 2 RATINGS
An even better season than the previous with more spectacle, mystery and remarkable chapters
The acting and the characters were truly exceptional, there is not even one underdeveloped or bad character, with Cameron, Sarah and Weaver being the highlight. Even though there are some weak points in mid-season and a lot of questions remained unanswered due to the show's cancellation, the writing and the story turns were creative, bold and overall awesome, offering a lot of intriguing stuff and excitement. You rarely see characters being used and interacting so darn well. The action scenes were spectacular and most of the sub-plots elevated the quality of the season even more. And the season-finale is a pure example on how to make an epic and nearly flawless season finale (not a series finale though, but I can fully forgive it for this)
Overall rating: 9.2/10
