A different way of telling a story

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

I have attempted to watch sanctuary dozens of times and can't stand it for more than 10 minutes! I absolutely loved Amanda in stargate so watching her overact here with the worst English accent is unbearable! The story line had promise but went over the top with some of the creatures which were totally ridiculous! I did catch a few minutes the other night where a vampire like person was fighting another thing! The actors playing the parts were thin and not powerful looking even with the makeup and special effects! The fight scene was pathetic and didn't make me want to watch the show! I am a huge scifi fan and love alternative shows but this is awful! My main problem is with Amanda's accent which is so unnatural and not believable not to mention I hate most English accents anyway and I don't understand why she would be required to sound English! The other problem with the show is the storyline which falls short!

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.

Honestly, I watched the first few episodes of season 1 because I was a fan of Stargate SG1. However I just couldn't get into the storyline a few years ago when the show first started to air and the greenscreen was a distraction for me. Now, I started watching the show backwards from season 4-3 and I'm working my way to season 2 and then season 1. Yes, its an odd way to watch a series but its super fun. It's like watching the history of the characters and how they evolved. The storyline is actually a great one, I think this is one of the best sci-fi shows on television right now. The production value is really good and the green-screen isn't a distraction anymore. I loving it!

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!
