Season 1 Review:
Terminator Zero sings by grounding its massive sci-fi world in the personal. Like the Connors before them, it’s easy to root for the Lees—and to question their sometimes chilling ethical choices. And no matter how cerebral the show gets, the family drama at its heart ensures that it never feels robotic.

Season 1 Review:
It may not be as profound as it thinks it is – stronger characters and deeper moral wrestling would've taken it to another level – but the action, score, and cast make this anime inspired by James Cameron’s blockbuster franchise is a worthy addition to the cyberpunk genre. It's the best Terminator has been in years.

Season 1 Review:
Regardless of which language you watch it in, and despite the small expositional lags and the anticlimactic reveals, Terminator Zero sets a solid framework for an ongoing story that is, like the best parts of the franchise, as much about very human choices as it is about spectacle.

Season 1 Review:
From start to finish, it successfully channels the dread of having a merciless 2-ton killer on your trail, as Production I.G.’s consistent animation and tense shot compositions keep this several-episode-long chase engrossing. And beyond these moments you’ve largely seen before, this story also attempts to break out of the endless temporal loop the series has been stuck in for 40 years. It may not entirely succeed at those aims, but that’s better than many of its peers.

Season 1 Review:
Terminator Zero isn't a bad series by any means. The questions it asks will make you think, as the lines between what's good and what evil become blurred. It's beautiful to look at, and the story and characters are entertaining, even if they would be more effective in a more condensed format. If you're a fan of the movies, definitely check it out, because it's worth a watch. Just don't expect to be taken back to the awe-inspiring time of those first two James Cameron movies.
