“with cutting-edge technology, Sanctuary creates a world teaming with mermaids, dinosaurs and monster mayhem” – TV Guide

Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) is a brilliant and enigmatic scientist who seeks out all manner of monstrous creatures.

Helmed by some of the innovative talents behind Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, the series creative team includes executive producer, writer and creator Damian Kindler; executive producer and lead actor Amanda Tapping; and executive producer and director Martin Wood.

Not having cable, I decided to take a chance on the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of detective style drama and supernatural. I would recommend this to fans of either genre.

While I had my doubts about Amanda Tapping's move to this series (and for that manner the shift in "Stargate" story line) I've been pleasantly surprised by both the content and the level of technology in this series. Received in good order and in Amazon's usual prompt delivery time and condition. Viewed without incident and am quite happy with my purchase.


3 out of 5 stars Ludicrous entertainment   November 18, 2009

First, it's compelling. Sure, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense - a staff of what, five or so? The action sequences, especially shootouts, are poorly done - Magnus just stands there shooting, for the most part. Ludicrous. The CGI, at least in this season, is not great, but it's the stories that carry you along - some are quite surprising and complex, especially the one with Drawing Boy. The characters are great fun and well written, what with the James (Sherlock) Watson and Jack the Ripper and company.


5 out of 5 stars A set not to be missed   November 16, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
The complete first season of SANCTUARY is offered in a fine 4-DVD set featuring the original series, following one Dr. Helen Magnus on her quest to study and protect legendary creatures that live with humans. Surround sound, widescreen selection, and numerous extras include audio commentaries on all 13 episodes with case and crew, bloopers, and more in a set not to be missed.
