Is Sanctuary worth watching? I surfed onto an episode recently and was curious. I figure since it is first season, I won’t have as much to catch up on! Usually by the time I “discover” a show, it is just about ready to stop production.
I consider the show a cure for insomnia..
IMO, no. I find it extremely boring. But watch a few episodes and judge for yourself. To me it's nothing but an ego trip for Amanda Tapping.
“Is Sanctuary worth watching?”
That depends. The easiest way to answer this question is with another question: Did you like Torchwood, or would you have liked it if it was more ‘family-friendly’?
It’s pretty similar - campy, with unoriginal plot lines and overdone special effects, but usually lots of fun. A quick guide: Folding Man (if you’re an X-Files fan, watch the first couple minutes for a laugh - you know the rest of the plot) and Warriors ought to be avoided, and you won’t miss anything. To be fair, Kush and Requiem are better episodes. And, last but not least, the latest episode that’s up on Hulu.com is an unexpectedly enjoyable homage/spoof of Cloverfield.
