    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.

    “Terminator Zero” deserves some credit for not trying to start over. It’s not a John Connor story, and there’s no Arnold cameo lurking in the finale. But it’s still the shell of a Terminator, rather than the real thing.

    The series takes big swings with a well-earned payoff towards its final few episodes, but it’s bogged down once again by being another underdeveloped eight-episode series that should’ve given at least two more episodes to flesh out its characters.
